No, I don’t cook for men

who think emotional labor is a weakness.

I don’t shrink myself

to fit your fragile sense of control.

I am not a prize.

I am not a reward.

I am not a step on your path

to becoming the man you wish you were.

You want notes from a high-value woman?

Here they are.

I want conversations

that don’t start with my weight

and end with your disappointment
