stocking up before the big storm arrives

i see two

women wrestling at the grocery

store

for the last loaf

of bread

and roll of toilet paper.

hair is being pulled

and eyes gouged.

i've seen both of them in church

before,

the big one on top, 

is in

the choir

and the wiry one

using a flurry of rabbit punches

to the ribs

of the big one, plays

the organ.

but a storm is coming this way

and we're expecting

ten inches of snow.

off in the distance,

i see the last carton

of large brown cage

free organic eggs

behind the glass door

and run for it, shoving

someone's grandpa

out of the way.
