Irma |
Irma waits by the window |
Vaguely looking down at her socks |
And humming. |
Possibly her |
Father will come home with a box |
Of chocolates, possibly |
Not. |
Father’s memory |
Was never what it once was; |
Shouldn’t really drive anymore |
Either. |
As if in answer |
With a sound like blowing up your |
Ears, Father’s jeep crashes |
Through Irma’s wall. |
She says |
Bad words as several hundred |
Boxes of her favorite kind |
Of chocolate fill her bedroom |
But she doesn’t actually mind |
