grocery lists
listed items,
until the end of
my days.
there are forever
lines of produce,
of toiletries,
of baked goods,
of deli meats.
there are impossible
quantities of soda,
of beer,
of wine,
of fruit juices.
listed items
until the end of
my days.
i return home
to do it all again next week,
next monday,
next—next monday,
monday of next month.
i come back
to wave at the grocers,
the butchers,
the fishmongers,
the front door greeters.
listed items,
until you help me
remember all that i forgot.
