Pizza

I am 13
Hoping my
Elder sister’s
Boyfriend will
Bring back a few
Extra slices of pizza
When he drops off my
Sister and the thought of
The pizza crust sausage and
Pepperoni with cheese and
Tomato sauce keeps me
Up late Friday night as
Her boyfriend is often
Generous and kind
About giving me
The extra slice
Or two of the
Pizza they
Shared
On a
Date a
Pastime
I am ignorant
About except my
Elder sisters’ think it
Is a big deal but
Not because
Of the left-
Over
Pizza.
I watch and
Listen to my sisters
As I seek intel for when
I begin to date in five years
But I never learn where
They buy the pizza
Which seems to
Me the whole
Point of a
Date.
