Just the Meat and Cheese Please

photo of a sandwich in mid air

On some days 

you just ramble

and you think

is this crap good?

or, is it just crap?

But then again

it’s like the times

you want

only, the meat and cheese

on fresh pumpernickel-

No accoutrements

No special sauce

No tomato

No lettuce or onions

No fancy baby greens

just the meat and cheese

on pumpernickel please!

Hungry for the simple goodness

of a fresh sandwich

you dig in

mmmmmm…

now that’s a good sandwich

you think.
