Without Intending To Be Rude

________________________________________________________________________________________________

What have you done for me, lately?
she asked without intending
to be rude

After all he had done
that morning
warranted (and got)
five hundred pounds
of gratitude

What will you do for me, tomorrow?
she asked devoid
of any sorrow
devoid of any response

While you are at it...
(which he wasn't)
she said
—in her voice of silk—

I need a glass of milk
