poem

for you, for me

avocados, pears, forget-me-nots.
she twirls out a list and smiles. 
dental floss. chapstick for me.
don't forget avocados
i already wrote that, see?

mangos, conditioner, a new coat.
she bites her lip.
avocados!
shush.

lotion, rice cakes, candles.
a new notebook.
why?
for me. 
muffins, for breakfast. 
avocados!!

pausing, she strokes my hair and giggles.
avocados.
