Dad's lunch box
dented black
imperfect white inside
coffee stains
faint remembered flavor
from the thermos bottle
It would wait by the back door
the sign that he was home
sleeping
Once or twice a treat
a vending machine cup cake
cars were selling
overtime every night
Mom would make sandwiches
fill the box
Before we got home from school
he'd be gone
Gerald Clark, Ann Arbor
