I am making thirteen-bean soup
and remembering when a pot of soup
and a pan of cornbread
would keep me for a week
when I lived in that tiny flat
down by the railroad tracks
and I was poor
and I ate tea and toast for breakfast
and packed jelly sandwiches
on day-old bread for lunch
and savored the sound of the pigeons
on my windowsill
each morning.
