Dinner Down the Road
Julia Bartlett
I was comfortable,
I was comforted.
I felt Midwestern
feeding on
hamburgers
corn-on-the-cob
kale
tomatoes
salad with plenty of avocado
and oh, the dressing.
I was eating out of a summer night,
talking away,
and dogs playing
as a watermelon sunset
slid into the Pacific.
I wonder
how it would be
if I just dropped by your house
every night
about this time….
