This felt like something I recognize within myself. Profoundly, almost, in the deliberate ridiculousness of the waves of emotion that can come after something entirely mundane.
Not to make this look even more “brilliant” 😉, the line after that alludes to “milk carton kids”, something they’d do in the 80s where they’d put photos of missing children on the milk cartons. Not sure if that’s something ever done overseas, but wanted to let you know in case it enriches the lyrical experience for you.

I'm so happy it resonated. You picked up what I put down.
Beautiful words and truthfully spoken.
Quintessential aspects of life are oft forgotten in pursuit of lesser items. That cart never holds all the ingredients for a perfect recipe in life.
The stars throw down their spears,
dull garden shears, cartoned up years
Brilliant!

It’s definitely specific to America but yes, so well done!
