Tables grey in the mind
yellow
Formica on chrome legs
milk
splashed from soggy
Cheerios
in a green Fiesta bowl
curling
laminate, faux mahogany
six
matching chairs
giblet
gravy staining
red Victorian seats
dry cracked
oak, rehabbed
from creamed enamel
workroom
to kitchen
residual
paint embedded
in
crevassed legs
Meals and memories, whispery specters
dine in and out of my cerebral folds
I sit alone toying with the corners
of
my burned cheese toast
