Jesus
Christ
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
