just three weeks left
that’s all
he has to get through
just three weeks
until he finishes his shampoo
it’s these little signs
that remind him time is still passing
because when the days begin to blend and time begins to
pause
he knows he’s one conversation, one meal, one step away
from relapsing
just three weeks to go
but patience, not time, seems to diminish
focus
only one carton of eggs and two loaves
of bread away from being finished
Memorable…a unique way of looking at using up.
