Supermarket Daze
SUPERMARKET DAZE
Gross overweight reflections
gleam off stainless steal
bins, filled with frozen TV dinners.
Obese mothers Jam
peppermint suckers down
children’s tearful mouths
-temporary peace.
Hamburger helper, pepsi-lite
National Inquirer , Rovers dog food
-frantic search for penny full bargains.
Torn pantyhose
wheel aisle after aisle.
mountains of pot pies, ice cream, potato chips, red chips, blue chips
freeido chips
Must hurry.
Get more.
Get more of those treats
need more meat .
Shopping daze fever
cart wheel out the street.
