I photograph the shopping list
before the supermarket trip
freezing familial requests
against the passage of time.
Mixed Herbs
Turkey Salami
Pate
Chorizo
Beef Sausage
and extra virgin olive oil.
Why is the vegetarian
the one who shops?
At least they don't ask me
to enter the blood-thick air
of the local butcher's shop.
