Full
My mom goes to the store once a week.
She buys potatoes, they’re ok.
I don’t like unloading the groceries.
Potatoes can come in mesh bags.
Or plastic ones.
I like the mesh, I don’t know why.
My mom and I.
Life feels as full as a bag of potatoes.
We eat them all the time.
My mom calls me downstairs.
So that the kitchen becomes full with the two of us.
We cook a potato feast.
We are left with empty plates and dishes.
My mom goes to the store once a week.
Once a week.
She comes home.
Mesh bag, plastic bag, mesh bag, mesh bag.
Once a week.
We eat them all the time.
Suddenly, the kitchen is full.
My mom and I.
Unloading the groceries.
Once a week, once a week.
