What they ate @ Costco March, 2015
When shopping was
errand and respite,
I watched
their intimate scene.
Both frail,
but still mobile.
He used a walker,
she probably drove.
I ate a hot dog,
sitting at a red table.
She opened a lunch bag
and removed each item:
fresh whole red pepper, sliced;
rice crackers;
sliced cheese;
whole wheat bread (thick slice);
diced and whole fresh fruit -
apples, grapes, nuts;
broccoli florets,
steamed and chilled.
The list is reliable.
I noted each item right there, on my phone.
They were still enjoying their picnic
when I left the store with my load of goods.
