DAYDREAM ON AISLE # 7
If you eat a doughnut
then eat it whole
if you leave a fragment
of a doughnut
then it's got no hole
it's no longer whole
it's got no soul
but I've been saved from
The Hunger
and that's what true salvation
means
the cravings for an
other
and then another
and another
there's enough sweetness in
the smile of a stranger
with her cart in the super mart
as you glide toward and then
past one another
you let your imagination
out to play for a minute
creating a scenario where
you remark that she has bought
the same kosher dills as you
and then it would begin
but
that could lead you
down the aisle
the wrong one
when you know that you can satisfy
those cravings well enough now
without the necessity
of making Mistake Number Three
so you tuck that daydream away
and glide on over to
the doughnut aisle
add to cart
proceed to checkout
and wave goodbye
Boy George's haunting voice
echoing sweetly in your ears
