DAYDREAM ON AISLE # 7

dVersePoetsPub

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 plaintive voice
echoing sweetly in your ears
