The Grocery List
Grocery List:
Butter
Eggs
Milk
Pasta
Sitting, looking at this list
things I need
but can do without
One more thing needs to be added
thing I need
but can’t do without
Are they really selfless
these mothers that never were?
I have another new dog
passed around too many times
in her young life
Jumps at every sound
wary but wanting
the love I can give
Meanwhile,
Loki snuggles on my lap
has he forgotten his former life?
I want to be him
I want to forget
A show was on tonight
a fictional, happy-ever-after plot
adopted daughter finds father and grandmother
A momentary lapse into fantasy
but then reality sets in
of something I need, but will never find
Grocery List:
Butter
Eggs
Milk
Pasta
Mother
Something I can’t live without
