PROVISIONS
Most supermarkets
have just empty shelves.
Online
meat and vegetables
are hard to find.
Milk and eggs
whole wheat bread
also gone.
Turned out the freezer,
found a surprise, a few jiaozi.
That was from last fall,
mom and dad made them for us
before they went back to China.
Cooked our treasure,
carefully
tried a bite.
Carrot-celery-beef filling,
greatest stuff in the world,
never had
anything better.
