I was once told

That in the kitchen was where I belonged.

Since I am a female

I should be scrubbing floors

And preparing supper.

I wonder how he felt

When he raged about the paint he'd spilled

And watched me scrub it off of the floors.

Did he remember his words from before?

Or was it lost in time

Only an echo shouting at me

From inside

As I scrubbed the floors.
