Empty Milk Carton

coming to terms

It would seem at this particular moment

we are coming to terms with who and what we really are.

It is in the same in the same moment exhilarating and frightening.

However, deep down in our hearts, we always suspected

there was more to all this than picking up the dry cleaning

on Saturday morning,

and wondering who left the empty milk

carton in the fridge.
