LUNCH DRIVE THRU
“Combo #3 please,
Large Unsweetened Tea “
I do not say
I lacked the energy
To pack a lunch
Today
To pack a lunch
Today
I omit
The observation
I am more than half-way
Through this day
That almost
never was
never was
I keep the story to myself
Of struggle
And insomnia
I return her smile and say
“Thank, you for helping me.
Today. ”
