Dancing in my head – v2

Laughing, backing down our driveway,
the snowstorm abating,
NPR on the radio, talking,
Shanequa snapping gum beside me
causing me to smile…
 
She said her things were dancing in her head,
I had two she had three, our shopping list,
she had the things for Taco Night,
I had the things for mom…
 
Tomatoes, shredded cheese,
sour cream. all that we still needed,
for the Taco Night dinner,
filled with anticipation…
 
I laughed and asked if the ingredients
were dancing to a mariachi band,
She paused for a minute, thoughtfully,
and said, yes, they were…
 
Soon there would be a whirl of motion
in our kitchen, our “Kitchen Stadium!”…
Mom making the dinner,
with sous chefs swarming…
