Designer Sandwich
A crunch on the outside
Preferably pumpernickel rye toasted
Not too thin or thick
Just enough to hold the center.
A mixture of textures
That meld the outer vigor
With a smooth snap.
A thin coating of Dijon
Before the bed of lettuce
Ripe tomato slices, sharp cheddar,
Rounds of crisp cucumber,
Topped by a sprig of basil.

I like my friends the same way.
Crusty, colorful, and fresh.
The wholesome hug of sharp whit
Encasing a heart of energetic
Enthusiasm and softness
That speaks of kindness.
