Dinner

was disgusting

Mashed Potatoes

Powder

Iced Tea

Sugar free

Meat Loaf

Unsatisfying

As always

"Pass the salt"

I want to say

No.

But the smart

Thing to do

is

To Say

"Okay"

Bandaged hands meet

soft ones

In an exchange

for salt.

I retreat

He continues on

Like nothing happened.
