WAWA TUNA HOAGIE

 

So this is

how it goes?

 

A Wawa tuna hoagie

with pickle dill chips

& a mango green tea

in an emergency waiting room.

 

A bypasser questions 

“Is this your Christmas dinner?”

 

Apparently, a Wawa hoagie

is my Christmas dinner

as a classic Yule movie

plays on the TV—

at least I’m with family.

 

The wasn’t really

the original game plan

for how the day would go.

 

I’m gonna count it

as a bucket list item

so I can make an X

on that non-existent list—

 

although between you & me,

it never was something

I really dreamed about doing.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Rushing my mom to the hospital on Christmas day.  She would pass away a mere 17 days later after an 11 year battle with cancer.
