"Get Out of My Kitchen!"
"Get out of my kitchen!"
Her daughter bellows, red-faced.
"I just wanted to help,"
Is her pitiful reply.
"I don't need or want your help!"
Her daughter sends a juice glass
Shattering to the tile floor.
Clear jagged glass shards mingle
With water and wildflowers,
Once white, yellow, and green,
Now neglected, dingy, and dead.
"Let me help clean it up."
Her daughter slams a pan
Onto the stove and screams.
"No, I didn't ask for your help!
You always get in my way!"
