I have drunk
the third Coke Zero
that was in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for after school

Forgive me
it was delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Prepping for the day, stressed about the work I can’t do while driving my dad to med appointments, I spotted this necklace he gave me after my 3rd eye surgery. I never considered what he might be stressed about while driving me to eleventy thousand childhood eye appointments. Thanks, Dad.
