tuna sandwich

while hanging
on to a subway strap
as the car
rumbled along
the knotted rails
heading into
darkness, then
light, you wondered
what you might
have for dinner.
you thought about
the cans of tuna
fish in your cupboard.
what year will
you open those
and mix up the tuna
into a bowl
with mayo and onions,
pepper. maybe
never.
