Halcyon

Summer, off college, and I couldn't find a job. I woke every morning, did the dishes, vacuumed the floors, and dusted the shelves. Every lunch, I made you a tuna salad sandwich with Hellman's mayonnaise and Heinz pickle relish. I put pretzels on the side of your plate and put a can of Coke on your placemat. You said it was the best summer of you life. It was mine, too, to feel so necessary.
