The red vinyl of her kitchen chair
is as brand new as the day Mary
and her brother Lazarus bought it
for her. They called it “Martha’s
Kitchen” – because after all - she
was always in it – cooking up a
storm for them and special guests
like Jesus. Maybe when she dies
someone will sit on it – and Mary
will finally say, “Hey, you can’t
sit there. That’s Martha’s chair.”
