Jascha Poem by bill costley

Jascha



Little yellow Jascha
chirrips from his perch
in the white kitchen of
my Polish grandmother
while I crunch away at
Kellog's CORN SOYA
soaking in wholemilk
on a sunny Saturday
off Salem Common.

After WW2, as a small child (b.1942) , I spent Summer Saturdays at my Polish grandmother's apt. in Salem, Mass. Breakfast was often Kellogg's CORN SOYA (no longer made) with blueberries & creamy milk.
