sandwich people

you can tell who a person is

by how

they make a sandwich.

whole wheat or white.

a french roll perhaps.

wonder bread or brioche?

straight up

from the bag,

or toast?

or we mayo or mustard?

and what goes in it.

layered

blankets of cheese,

jams and jellies, perhaps.

meat,

or fish,

peanut butter lathered on

in wide swipes, 

crunchy and rich.

ham on rye, or we going there?

tuna?

or God forbid egg salad,

with the corner cuts

and crust

removed.  peppers please.
