true love

you worked
with a man who every
day ate
a cheese
sandwich.
this went
on for the months
that you knew
him. worked
along side
him.
one day, he
forgot it,
leaving it on
the kitchen table
where his
wife dutifully
left it
with his thermos
of black coffee.
so when it was
time for lunch,
he ordered
a cheese
sandwich from
the deli.
white bread
and mayo, just
the way she made
it and black
coffee. true love.
