I brought too much stuff for this house that I’m staying at,
carried too many foods
for a one-week stay.
Now I’m eating my way
through a pound plus of turkey,
a gallon of milk
and twelve ounces beef jerky.
I don’t want to carry back
all of these provisions.
I thought I’d prepared
with a bit more precision
but there’s so many apples,
bananas and a pear
that I might have to leave
some in the fridge right there.
