I was living alone
at the time.
After calling the
apartment landlord,
he came over to change
the heating element
in my oven
which had broken in half
the day before.
It rarely happens,
he told me.
What surprised him
was that I used
the oven to cook for
myself.
Surprised in turn,
I told him,
I use it
only if I want
to eat.
I figured
the landlord’s
wife did all the
cooking
at his place.
For him
every night
dinner was
a surprise.
No surprises
in store
for me.
I had already
made plans
for mine.
