Poetry / To The Market

Fresh picked goodness

Plucked from the farmer’s market

Tastes like honey crisp apples

And the snap of fresh celery

Crinkled eyes

Hidden smiles

That can’t be fully hidden by masks

A silent exchange

A muffled laugh

A small interaction

Brief but still meaningful

To get us both through the day

At home there are folders and folders

Of screenshots piled up on my desktop

It’s a constant battle

To balance order and chaos

But I have a stockpile smiles from the market
