Life Is a Comfort Sandwich

Enjoy Every Bite

Ca,

Ca,

Ca,

Comfort is …

Blanketing the ocean over my strong slippery shoulders,

Inhaling the savory, salty, peppery potato-chip air,

Digging my teeny-tiny toes into

The mouth of a grand-dame river of gravy goodness,

And winking at the doorman of my mastermind.

Ca,

Ca,

Ca,

Comfort is …

Eating a peanut butter and banana, gooey guilty gargantuan sandwich,

Laughing loudly at a lingering joke,

Completing a New York Times crazy crossword in pen,

And marveling in Morse (wo) man code

At the volumes of sculpted, shapely superheroes.

Ca,

Ca,

Ca,

Comfort is …

Touching raindrops on rosy, red apple cheeks,

Wading waist-deep in a bathtub full of prepared pesto pasta,

Humming my favorite sappy sad songs,

Searching for wondrously witty words,

And sipping on sparkling sangria.
