As
we climbed into the car after the school day
I
asked for details, for the truth
of
the girls in the back seat;
The
chocolate was already consumed
before
asking, before it was allowing
more
candy to be enjoyed
Two
brownies was her answer
wanting
more information
asking
if they were chewy;
Moist
was her response
Moist,
but not necessarily chewy,
to
her older sister’s consternation
Enjoying
a laugh on the way home
after
the school’s Valentine’s Day party;
Her
answer precise, perfect
something
for the memory books
that
her brownies were moist,
but
not necessarily chewy
