The year four trees
planted by our parents in the back yard
produced abundant fruit
we ate apples 'til we were sick.
But the news got around,
and children from blocks away
came knocking at our door,
seeking opulent juiciness.
Remember Ham Sandwiches?
With yellow mustard.
10 cents, at Safeway.
When we were lucky
and convinced Mummy,
we ate them twice a day.
