moving i.

mom asked, 
"can i make you a cup of tea?"
of course i agreed,
as i packed up oils and ointments
discarding old toothbrushes 
and empty tubes of toothpaste.
in the end dad brought up
the cup and warned me 
there was no cream in it.
"we didn't have any milk
so i threw in some bailey's,"
he said casually.

-make due with what you have have
