Grocery Schedule

Grocery schedule set by

whiskey consumption and the

dissolution of coffee, the

cough my worry, the bread

gets thinner and full of

holes like the story the news

blares and growls

while beer grows a

silver garden out

in the bushes within

my lazy arm arc,

the cough my worry

while meat is thick and

red but the freezer

turns it gray, like the

days endless meat

frozen and waiting

for the cough,

my worry,

to consume me

like whiskey

on a grocery schedule.
