Today is International Women’s Day and a groan can be heard around the world, in the voices of bass and baritone: “Oh no!” Millions of men around the globe google the opening hours of the nearest flower shop, they buy chocolates and children are encouraged to do crafts so that mom gets a small gift for Women’s Day.

My grandmother puts her feet in the sink
of the bathroom at Sears
to wash them in the ritual washing for prayer,
wudu,
because she has to pray in the store or miss

and laid them aside, folded in thirds,
and given me her purse and her packages to hold
so she can accomplish this august ritual
and get back to the ritual of shopping for housewares
