Foot in a bowl
Suspended mid-air
She’d asked for a green one
But I knew she meant pink
She’d finished her snacks
The same as most mornings
Cheese biscuits, some small or a large one
‘Garlic bread’, like croutons but not
Spicy nuts, always cashew
Cheese, the round and wrapped kind
Grapes, cut into half and deseeded
I gave her all of the snacks at once
To save myself a trip
As I knew she’d ask
For more in five minutes.
