in the grocery store
with a cart full of all beef
wieners.
twenty cobs
of corn.
a case of beer
and a large costco size
bag of buns.
there's mustard
too
and relish.
ketchup for the heathens.
then the sheet cake,
teetering
on the pile,
twelve by twelve,
decorated
with candles and candy,
all of it in
red white and blue.
she avoids
looking at me, i wasn't
invited.
