in aisle six at the grocery store.
i can hear
the announcement for
someone to come
and swab the deck
before a customer slips.
shoppers head
in that direction
pushing their carts quickly
to where the accident
occurred.
they want to see what broke,
what bottle crashed,
what box fell
from a high shelf
and opened, what can
split wide and with a splat
dripped out what once
was inside. maybe pickles,
or ketchup or vinegar, or
god forbid, red wine.
