about to start, my mother
would take
us all to Sears for new clothes.
one shirt each
for the boys, and dungarees,
and one dress each
for the girls.
if she had a some extra
money,
we'd get a pair of shoes too.
or sneakers.
she'd buy pencils and erasers
in bulk.
along with seven
lunch boxes
with a thermos inside.
it was a long
school year
of bologna sandwiches,
three cookies,
an apple
and milk.
