Short Co Op Poems

"We need more space," you voiced.

"This space to let."
The notice hastily scrawled
childlike on an index card
glimpsed in the co-op window
passed by quickly; 
rain staining a new coat,
reminded me;

I had heard and not heard....

Christopher really liked Lisa
He thought she was really quite fit
They worked together every day
At a very well known supermarket

When he asked her out she said yes 
But to show that they were an item
They were shrink-wrapped together
And had a barcode label stuck on them...

I shop at the co-op every day,
See the karma millionare not give a care,
See Mr Jones a pillar of fire,
See the checkout supervisor touch every hand,
See the damned see the damned,
See the old hag have a drag,
See the gentleman being dargged down,
See the gnome all at home,
And see the man who knows he's alone....

Best Sandwich Ever 

Sam Adams favorite sandwich
Was the make it yourself sandwich
Served at the Ashland Oregon, Co-Op
A modified BLT sandwich on Gluten-free bread 
Cheese, roast beef or pastrami, bacon 
Sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, dill pickles, peppers  
Mayo, mustard, ketchup 
Just heaven in every delicious bite...

I want to do a co op poem about invisible chains.
I have a bunch of really good ideas for it but its such a good topic that i feel like two heas are better then one.
Read my other works to see if you can mesh with my out there style.
but yea comment if your interested, it will most likely be like the "the moment before the fall" poem...

Every building in my view
Has perfect little squares
Of windows lined up neatly
Which I gaze at, unawares.

From where I sit, I cannot see
The curtains, shades or blinds,
The distance meaning if I stare,
Then no one really minds.

And yet, behind each pane of glass
Some lives are being spent,
Each one unique, no matter what
The co-op fees or rent.

The city houses millions,
All with windows facing out,
But we never know what life
Behind those windows is about.
