That moment I step in- front, automatic sliding doors, of my favorite grocery store 'open-wide' slide apart this transcends my being, automatically... into manifest... visions of what were to come- entered in a time she was gliding down a busy Aisle, on her way to unpredictable places, then at that moment... instantly- I'm all a glow, watching her go-ha-go near decorative doughnut tables... silk blouse, tight fashionables everywhere on her person, pausing to read labels... pricing all their bargains, that catch her eye- frustrated, unable to make eye contact- I sigh she is not really there, just a figment, are you still with me... see now curves around a corner, while pushing my cart, passing all their Can's, bustling by... they mean nothing to me... vegetable bins are full, ripe melons, tomatoes so red, but such a nice peach- I wipe my lips... instead of bending for a bag of potatoes honey-bun moseys on over to a frozen section then turns to reveal, restricted capillaries... while viewing that - content an all calories... I'm thinking what they would be like, bouncy now in my direction... embarrassed- my revelation started to fade disappear... Oh my! out-of-sight- gone- my Favorite Grocery Store Vision.
