Makes Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

Makes



She doesn't
Make the dishes
She likes

She makes
Those dishes
Her hubby likes

For it is an
Accepted norm
For a woman
In her traditional
Form to 'like'
Whatever her
Hubby likes


(This poesy is based on compromise, which is what a traditional Indian housewife is expected to make in many Indian households.)
