Good Friday
My Sister used to poke and prod
my Mom and Dad
with statements like...
"Hey, say what you want
about the guy
but if nothing else
He got us a day off work
every year and that's not nothing."
She was never one
to observe any traditional custom,
but for this one day
she let every drop and crumb
possess her.
After the dinner and dishes
she'd go to her room and sob,
but it always passed.
