fear and loathing in the grocery store
By seannelson

the robotic doors open
through meters of air
to beckon you in
(past the stuffed animal gambling)
to the richly packed shelves
through which you must navigate
and dodge sprinting toddlers
and suburban anarchists
(amid light jazz)
to attain the sustenance,
vice, and general deluxury
fitting to your social class
before the earthquake,
the pink slip,
or just the 5 PM conference call
with the buyers from Barbaria
starvation in the soda isle
greed in greeting cards
guilt at the espresso bar
Vietnam hiding in frozen goods
assistance with addiction needed in the pharmacy
early puberty in racks of beef
10 laws on the eating of a peach
radiation in electronics, not just in anime
but the cell phones, the droids,
the wall of lava T.V.s
all showing arrows raining down
on a medieval battlefield
