he entered the marketentered into a sudden clusterfuck of carts whirlin stoppinmidstride around the flowers stands vegetable bins pushed by people too preoccupied with themselvestheir erupting thoughts lists cellphones careening aimlessly too selfabsorbed soppywet to absorb any datum sensorynegation exceptmaybe for tinnitus deafening them one hand not knowing what the others doing   very unoctopus 
                                                                          Jesus Christ
he clutched a deepgreen coloured basketheld it like a bumper to wardoff carts pushed in one direction pushers looking in another good thing he was agile on foot he slipped between carts before they collided
it was nuts
            it wasnt even Friday the stores advertised SALES Day 
he made it safely to the aisles where traffic at least was linear ifnot as aimless some carts perpendicularperpendickular to the shelves hogging the aisle damning it cart attendants unattending off in their own little world 
                                                                                                       Excuse me all to Hell
Im just trying to live in your World he could hear Timi Yuro singing Make the World Go Away leak out of their ears 

   a pound ofNo elevenounces of coffee box of linguine pasta sixpak of beer package of everything bagels 
made CheckOut intact  
                         MISSION ACCOMPLISHED  no small feat

standing in line he cast his eye to where he entered the flowers vegetable binsChrist  looked like a beehive
