these days are numbered

gas is cheaper
here at the shore, he says.
so is the polident,
aisle six,
next to the fiber
mix,
I follow as he pushes
the cart
dropping in a box of
this or that,
what's on sale.
Halloween candy.
boneless chops.
do you need anything, he
asks.
and i nod no.
I have everything I need
and more.
this is good enough.
this walk, this shopping,
together through
the enormous well lighted
store.
these days are
numbered.
