There are ways a good woman
is like a good poblano chili
I explained to my daughter
concerning her mother
at first she scoffed at the analogy
but as I elucidate the gastronomic qualities
of a good chili
she came to agree that it was an apt comparison
good peppers add heat and a robust weight to a flavor
they should bring tears of joy to your eyes
on rare but appropriate occassions
they are lovely to behold
no matter the shape or size
and the smell of a good chili
infuses the whole house with a startling hunger
I left that last one out of the conversation
to avoid any awkwardness
