Aisle 6
2 of chicken
3 of tuna
2 of turkey with gravy
3 of a seafood blend
He was collecting 10 cans
of cat food on Aisle 6
There was a coupon he’d clipped
for a good deal—if you buy 10
Carefully, he cradled the cans
stacked in 2 rows of 5
In my opinion, he should have
grabbed a shopping cart
He tried to hurry
but was halted
by the magnetism
of toys
She deserves the world
he thought
and then recalled
what the cashier said
the last time he was in:
Sometimes the best things choose us
6 words he loved
and made so much sense
to him
He paid and then left
with his own reusable bag
Back to the castle
where a queen lives
and rules Isle 6
