On Stage
by Brian Rosenberger
Two grocery bags
filled to capacity
One child crawling on the ground
blacktop stained knees
A second, recently hatched
squirming on her hip
like an agitated gibbon
The keys locked
inside the used Honda
intentionally
The father, not even an afterthought

Her knight arrives
armor shinning
lights flashing
He's cute too
Hi Jack
the name tag a clue
as long as it's not said on a plane
but considering the parking lot
it's allowed
Jack gets to work
dirty nails, chiseled grin
previously employed in insurance
where he played the villain
but now,
everybody loves a hero
True to his word
He pops the door
as easy as the stubborn lid
on a jar of pickles
He basks in her gratitude and cleavage,
unruly children not with standing
The performance over
It's the most attention
she will receive all week
