vanilla wafers,
popcorn,
cut up peaches and apples,
lemonade
and crackers with
Philadelphia
cream cheese.
there was a shotgun
leaning in
the corner
next to a rusted typewriter.
a copy of Ariel
was on the table.
the Diary of Anne Frank.
i didn't know where to start
while i sat there,
elbows
on the vinyl tablecloth,
a picture of Ernest Hemmingway
staring down at me
in the dying light.
