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
