Irma waits by the window,
                           
Vaguely looking down at her socks
             
And humming. Possibly her
                            
Father will come home with a box
                   
Of chocolates. Possibly
                 
Not. Father's memory
         
Was never what it once was.
                         
Shouldn't really drive anymore,
          
Either. As if in answer,
                            
With a sound like blowing up your
                      
Ears, Father's jeep crashes
                        
Through Irma's wall. She says
            
Bad words as several hundred
                     
Boxes of her favorite kind
            
Of chocolate fill her bedroom.
                        
But she doesn't actually mind
