Supermarket Baby | Juliet Simon

The biggest betrayal I ever met

I handled like an infant at the supermarket

wailing down aisles, bawling tears of denial

tearing down items from shelves,

kicking canned food displays over

just to watch something crash,

ripping open boxes and

dumping them on the floor,

pounding up donuts

until they turned into dust,

smashing up sushi to smear

it down someone’s shirt,

screeching in a splitting pitch

making sure everyone

knows my pain.
