Plate
johnson brothers,
blue and white,
not old,
not imported,
but in any case,
treasured,
kept in the antique cabinet,
used for Easter ham,
and Thanksgiving bird,
imagine my surprise
when I saw
the real thing
all crisp and creamy
blue slightly off
many miles and
antique shops later
I still get a chill
when I come upon
some hidden
on the back shelf
blue and white
