bring a dessert

i make
a bowl of strawberry
Jello for the party,
throwing in
a can of fruit cocktail
like my mother used to do
then i top it off
with five
giant spoons of cool whip.
after slicking it all down
with a spatula
i pop in a dozen or so tiny
American flags 
attached to toothpicks.
i try not to get
sick as i'm making it,
then put it in the fridge
overnight.
i'm sure it will be a hit
on the 4th.
