Parent message is 216071
the bell rings
as i shut the door
and walk away
the smell of 5-spice
fills the car
but something’s not right
i drive on
ignoring my instinct
thinking that celery
lurks beneath brown paper
when i pull into my spot
i realize i didn’t come home
with what i wanted
and kung pao chicken
is what i’m eating
tonight.
