The Shopping List
by Elizabeth Challinor
Ignoring my festering
Angry mood
She sent me out on an errand
Do you mind?
I snatched the shopping list
From her hands
And stood in the middle
Of Lidl
And cried
Openness
Clear thought
Curiosity
Enthusiasm
Gratitude
Patience
Humour
Peace
A packet of prawn cocktail flavoured crisps
How did she know they were my favourite?
