1. Bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake and especially those few who instead stare down and with one shake of a chin-resting-in-the-palm head send the tray past them, or take the handle and lean across the spread of bench to the old couple half-awake, the woman who looks up startled, eyes red, unfolds herself, and smiles all our heartache.
Love it!
