I never feel more
like a single dad
than when I eat a
Hot Pocket. Alone
in the house. Just me:
the kids with their mom.
The dogs are gone too.
So I have a quiet
evening. I don’t
want to cook, so I
open the wrappers.
Microwave a few.
And sit at my spot
at the table. Alone.
I’m okay with it.
It’s a new normal.
But I am waiting
for something else to
start over again.
