on the way to see you
standing in a grocery store is enough to
make me never want to
marry;I see tired faces staring at
canned chili,
loaded carts and hundreds of dollars to
pay at the registerit feels good to have my couple items,
few enough to carry in my hands,
maybe a bottle of wine
and an apple
or
a pre-packaged sandwich
and a
candy bar
