If you think about it,
our true needs
are so minimal.
Air.
Water.
Food.
Shelter.
Love.
My ex-husband,
before we were divorced,
wrote a metaphysical shopping list
that lived on my fridge for years.
Milk
Eggs
Bread
Beer
Butter
Metaphors
I always loved that list,
even after my love for him
had faded into a dusty memory.
We had thought we needed each other.
This turned out not to be true.
And interesting to note
that I’m allergic to everything on this list,
with the exception of metaphors.
