Everyday Essentials

A grocery list jotted in hurried strokes,

milk, bread, and oranges—ordinary folks.

Every item a story waiting to unfold,

a mundane treasure map, life’s secrets retold.


Crinkled and creased, a reminder of need,

each line pulls me deeper, in urgency, freed.

Fleeting desires clash with necessity's weight,

I carry this list, my heart full of fate.
