will this make me fat?

they've put benches
and love
seats in the grocery store,
the gourmet
stores where everything
says organic,
people are reading
voraciously,
their glasses on the tips
of their noses.
studying the labels.
counting calories,
carbs, sugars.
is their mercury in this fish?
they raise their questions
and ask the clerks,
will this make
me sleepy, or fat, or lazy.
they hold up bananas
and say what about this.
what will this do to my
figure, i'm going to the
beach on labor day?
can i eat this and still
fit into my suit?
should i just eat half?
