Sandwiched between
sliced white bread:
cucumber, sambal
ikan bilis spread.
By my mother, for other
tongues made tame:
P2 party in my school
with a foreign name.
Noses crinkled, smiles wrinkled
as the lid was lifted.
Paper plates freshly filled
with home food gifted.
Tupperwares emptied,
all except mine:
sandwiched between
white bread and time.
