Polish Grandma- A Poem
Polish Grandma Cabbage and Potatoes. I think of you. Big dinner table, so full we had to use folding chairs just to fit everyone. Pierogies and Sauerkraut. A family dinner. Pork? Some kind of meat.. “Eat some more! You’re too skinny” “Look at you, do your parents ever feed you?” I turn red, “Grandma, don’t embarrass me.” Newspapers sprawled on the table Judge Judy’s voice booming from the family room Everyone shouting Talking over each other Laughter The dog barks You slip him a buttery roll under the table.
