The Guy In Aisle Nine
“Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year
probably isn't learning enough.” — Alain de Botton
convinced me to roll curlers
let them hang loose
roam the village
grocery store
bobbing along
latent style
and jeans
wouldn’t mind the stares
if but i
could restore my youth
shake my booty
oh so fine
to the chagrin
of my grandmother’s eyes
to the surprise
of the guy in aisle nine
who thought me shy
