my mother
fed us on paper plates.
but for the holidays
she brought out the good
China,
which was a set of blue
and white
plates
from Sears.
most were chipped,
and cracked, but clean,
having rested in
the hutch all year.
they were definitely
a step up from the paper
plates we were used to.
we could actually pick
them up, carry them
across the room,
and not have them
collapse in our hands,
spilling our food.
the dogs were not happy.
