hmm, what else
do i need from
the store?
i wonder
if i just write
my grocery
list — if people
would want
to read it!?
amidst
decent writing
it feels sometimes
as though effortless
pieces — resort
themselves to not only
be steeped
in careless
phrases
that mean
nothing
to anyone
even the poet
who wrote
the words
in the first
place
