one of those
people that stand
in the middle of the aisle
at the grocery
story
reading labels.
examining the ingredients
of every jar,
can
and package that i might
put into my cart.
it's crowded.
some people have brought
their own
folding chairs and flashlights,
they scroll their
phones looking up words
they've never heard of.
researching the countries
that have caught these sardines,
or grew these tomatoes
in this red sauce.
we help each other,
warning each other, showing
the rashes on our arms,
relating how that brand
made us sneeze, or choke,
or gave us the hiccups.
