A "Pause for Words"
Pantry Shelves
There's the things I keep out of reach:
Glass. Hot Sauce. Oreos.
There's the things directly within reach
but invisible, on that unfindable shelf
in front of their faces.
Everywhere there’s allergens listed; carbs accounted for—
a collection of things
he maybe half-mentioned that he liked.
Anything to feed this kid
with no needles attached.
These are the things still out of my reach.
