Even Days for Odd Times
the baloney salad sits
two tables away
right beside Mamaw’s
cole slaw
the one she makes with
onions
never mind people don’t
really like it
they eat it anyway,
scooping it out
with a slotted spoon
realizing, probably
that’s the one thing
they’ll remember
when we can’t even
find the odd air fryer
at a yard sale
anymore

I really enjoyed this. Definitely reminded me of our family gatherings. Grandmother was not a good cook but no one went hungry.
I enjoyed this too! Great title!
