Remembering the Saturday Special
hot dogs,
baked beans Saturday special
Leontyne Price sings Aida
with stereo clarity
Ma makes a box cake
Duncan Hines yellow
steamed up kitchen windows
let anybody know
life is happening
here
I twist and turn toward her
on the little green stool
each turn a question
each twist an understanding
frozen spinach too
with coca cola
it isn’t a refrigerator
it’s the icebox
soon cake aroma fills the house
chocolate icing from a can
waiting to be laid
Saturday special 3 pm
always a little rain
and cozy love within
