cheese whiz

apparently
the world loves cheese.
there's a whole
section
of it at the grocery store,
a special section
walled off
where
people in chef's hats
are slicing it up
into trapezoid and
triangular
pieces,
after weighing
it and holding it up to the light.
there are big
building blocks
of cheese.
neanderthal wheels
of cheese.
it's expensive, all this cheese.
so many different
kinds.
what's up with cheese?
and then there's
the crackers
that go with it, the plum
sauce,
the berries,
the orange goo,
the raspberry spread.
walk further
and there are the packages
of cheese,
all kinds,
hanging on racks.
cheaper cheese,
ones not from France.
i can't even begin to list
them all.
i'd have to learn three new
languages.
