on building sandwiches

Sister and I remained at the table compiling

while fam rest reclined at the table round

we chose carefully, not saying they hadn't,

but our choosing took longer as we pondered

voicing our quirky decision-making mostly to ourselves

speaking to tomatoes and lettuce and meats and cheese

it was an artful experience

and turned out tasty though nothing particularly extraordinary

at least between my two pieces of bread

tonight I was reminded how sis and I are alike
