The aisles are all full
to bursting, floor to ceiling,
side to side, the walkways,
like arteries, narrowed
by excess, and yet
just a few bags in hand.
A whole lot of something, or
a whole lot of nothing—
it barely matters in this
tumbledown, blue-collar town,
where the aisles are all full
to bursting, but there’s little
worth buying these days.
worth buying these days.
