X

Packed groceries

Milk X Chai

Jack cheese X enchiladas

Pasta X insurance

Packed in Corona

My Corona

Brought my own

Kept the 10 c

Walked home

Rained lightly at first

Clouds too pale X rain

Faces of strangers

too fraught X smiles

Smiles cracked

lightning X pale skies

Rained harder

Took refuge

beneath overhanging Coronas

Scurried 

Corona X Corona

Cold at home

Took my temperature

X meat thermometer

Raw

Turned X heater

Put a pot X stove

Prepared X Corona

Stirred X all day
