Dear Grandma

They found you in the arcade room

with the teenagers everyone was afraid of.

But they looked different this time

and no one could remember

their sharp edges

everyone was so used to

protecting them selves from

melted on their own

because you were your soft self with them

because you fed them your chicken cutlets

the taste of safe

did you even see that they were scary?

or did you just see that they were kids

who needed love to protect them?
