Supermarket

Almost ready to comprehend the cost,

Zombies with earphones moonwalk the aisles

Eye contact zero, skin contact frost,

Trollies with everything mounting in piles

Render unto us the plenty of Caesar.

Seize Easter bargains with mild aggression.

Selfish shelfies, absorbed at deep freezer,

Self-consumed by the delicatessen.

Near collisions at dangerous corners,

All most greedy apprehending what’s found:

Guzzlers, gulpers, tasters, chewers, yawners.

Seattle thrash for musical background.

With the check-out at last I break denial,

The wild subversion of a shared smile.
