the hunger

it's a dangerous thing to shop
when you're hungry,
to peruse the long
aisles of food
at the grocery store
everything looks good
for the moment.
what's it going to be.
Italian,
something south of the
border,
Chinese?
hot or cold. ready
to go.
spicy or mild.
I smell a world
of food, my stomach growls
with need.
I should get a bigger
cart, this may
take awhile.
