The Sandwich: A Poem

Through the bellows of the kids, I sit, waiting. 
The milk carton is sipped. 
The potato chip bag is torn. 
The carrot sticks are devoured.  
“Aren’t you going to eat that?” He retorts. 
She giggles. “That’s disgusting. I hate egg-salad sandwiches.”
He lifts me up, and I plop on the floor. 
They laugh.
