BUDGET

Thirty phone calls  
With some wiggle room  
 
A few pictures  
 
More food than we think we’ll need  
 
Bottles of pills  
 
Wood, both dry and green  
 
Weaving materials  
Just in case  
 
Letter of reference  
 
Extra laptop and USB cable  
Because that printer never works  
 
At least one unexpected party  
Containing several  
Discreet conversations  
With your family  
 
One broken boundary  
Do not allow for more
