First Love

When we were dating,
you loved oyster crackers.
We made hot pots
full of ramen noodles,
draining most of the
water out of the mix
just before adding the
creamy chicken or
shrimp flavor packets.
I still think of you
everytime I eat
an oyster cracker
and remember the
dance you did
when you held a
new bag of crackers
in your hands.
