For those who might not know, or remember, lunch times during high school was divided into three, A-Lunch, B-Lunch, C-Lunch.  Hence the title and underpinning for the beginning of this write...



"C-Lunch"


Timidly I smiled
when you stood next to me.
My nervous eyes made jokes
with friends there at the table
as we talked about nothing at all.
But inside I wished
that you would sit down for once
and laugh along with me.
But you never did.
I just knew you would slip away
with the


years.


Until one day, you called.
And boldly I laughed and said ‘yes’ to lunch
although not too bravely inside.
We met.  We spoke.  We joked about us.
That old sparkle I still saw in your eyes
burst into flames.

And I was consumed!

This is so sweet. (though I was a naughty girl and usually had liquid lunch in the parking lot   Great memories.)

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

C lucnh

You had all the left overs
The spoiled milk
The least amount of adult supervision

You did not have to begin your class
and then leave in the middle
to return to monotony

You did not have to wonder
how many more hours
would tick away
until you could go home
and eat a Hot Pocket

The coolest boys where in C lunch
the cutest boys
the baddest boys

The different hue of light

It always seemed more blue

Ahh, good read, my dear Texan
Bringing back those memories
