the lost and found department
a cellphone behind the counter
four unread texts
a set of keys
someone wanders aisles
a grocery list
now left to memory
in the haste of life
questions unanswered
a teddy bear
observes all the items
one eye torn for its socket
a mother’s chore to mend
a man waits in front
for his wife
he says
they’re running late
people cry out
to reclaim their lives
customers walk
in and out the door
a man sitting alone on the sidewalk
loses track of time
a sparrow
seeks the sky
