Stringence:
posture tilted back
spine thrust up
like Julia Child's
helmeted with
bronze-silver wig
curled into meringue,
untouchable
Insistence:
dress correctly to
cook correctly, girls only
in skirts
Resistence:
I kept apron-drawer
culottes, changing from jeans,
saying to your averted gaze,
"There. Now I won't
cook like a boy."
