SATURDAY MORNING MID-JULY

 

SATURDAY MORNING, MID-JULY

Late start, and back

from half-mile walk

and it’s hot quick

slice of melon

in my mouth

screen door behind me

when Sammie calls

Gpa do you have any eggs

I’m in the middle

of making waffles

How many do you need

Two

Are you

coming to get them

Yes

I tell this to Karen just

like this when

she comes out

to the porch with

her coffee and two

biscottis adding

I didn’t say

the grocery store

is closer than

Gpa’s
