The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:40pm

Sterling Silver Beef

displayed under The Kiosk Sign

@ Sobey’s

I bought two slabs

after saying “no” to two samples

of second-rate cork flooring

@ Wilson’s Home Hardware

— I put The Beef

in My Black Basket

& paid for It with a fifty in Speedy Checkout

behind a man who’s head was shaped

like David Wilson’s

to DVD

The Tomato-coloured Couch 1:10pm

I felt Your Little Black Heart

wrap around Me

as I traversed the rainy Sobey’s Parking Lot

My Hair Newly Cut

You grabbed My Black Bullet-proof Vest

shouting “Live, Damn It, Live”

SOBEY’S PARKING LOT 2:22pm

“Excuse Me, I found This Purse

in The Parking Lot. I didn’t

look in It.”

“Excuse Me, I found This White Purse

in The Cart Corral.  I didn’t

look in It.”

“Excuse Me, I found This White Purse

in The Emergency Cart Corral.  It might

have A Bomb in It.”

“Excuse Me.  I found This White Bomb

in The Emergency Cart Corral.  I didn’t

set It off.”
