On
the
day
she
quit
; wandered
in
late
,
straight
to
the
vending
machine
, hundred dollars
worth
of
coin
in
her
pocket
,
every
ice
cream
sandwich
in
the
joint,
three
bucks
a
pop. Gluttonous mouths
for
coworkers
and
management
,
two
middle
fingers
and
a
mouth
full
of
"
fuck
you
"
for
her
.
And
speculation
of
a
lotto
win
with
envy
gained
of
fools.
A
smug,
never
look
back
, proud
and
tall
walk
out
...
straight
into
rehab.

the

bins
at

a
cheap
5
gallon bucket
of
vanilla
ice
cream
i
think
it
was
how
my
mother
got
me
and
my
brother
to
behave
in
the
store
.
she
bribed
us
with
the
thought
of
homemade
ice
cream
sandwiches
when
we
got
home
.

raze
they
came
from
a
butcher
shop
.
he
said
they
were
the
best
he'd
ever
had
.
i
didn't
believe
him
until
i
tried
one
. we'd
give
them
a
day
to
soften
up
in
the
freezer
.
then
we'd
let
the
sweetest
snow
you
could
ever
hope
to
find
melt
in
our
mouths
between
two
sylphlike
layers
of
chocolate
.
they
had
the
best
frozen
lemon
meringue
pie
there
,
too
.
after
that
place
closed
down
,
we
found
the
same
ice
cream
sandwiches
at
a
grocery
store
.
but
they
were
never
that
good
again
.
not
even
close
.
