Grocery List (3/23/17)
Jack Padgett
Pringles,
Bananas,
Peanut Butter,
Thumbtacks,
Salt,
Loose-leaf paper,
Streamers,
Cake mix (devil’s food),
A John Green novel,
Happiness for another,
Some sort of affirmation,
That I’m doing,
Something right,
Because I don’t know,
If I am,
I think I am,
But I don’t know if I am,
Eggs,
Ritz crackers (round ones),
Cereal,
Plastic cutlery,
My husband,
Says he loves me,
I know he loves me,
But what if,
He doesn’t,
Dry shampoo,
My mind is a dangerous,
Place,
Because it’s easy,
To get lost,
In there,
Orange juice,
Babybels,
Paper plates,
What if I left it,
All behind,
I wouldn’t be missed,
But I would,
He would miss me,
Right,
I’d miss myself,
I’d miss my life,
But is it even a life,
At all,
Cooking spray,
They’re staring at me,
They’re all staring at me,
This shirt has,
A hole in it,
I knew I shouldn’t have,
Put it on in the,
First place,
But I pretended,
Like I didn’t care,
But I do,
I do, I do care,
I care about it all,
I care about him,
But does he care,
About me,
Lays (family size),
Bacon,
Is it all,
A ruse,
A cleverly constructed,
Game,
But I guess I’ll,
Shut up and do,
What I came here,
To do,
Grapes,
Tablecloth,
Paper letters (T, Y, L, E, and R),
Wrapping paper,
Tape,
And probably a candy bar
