AT THE GROCOUT
Slowly making progress
Down the aisle
Between organics
And frozen-
Have I ever processed
This much information?
Scanning labels up, down
Left, right and
Into the depth
Of the freezer-
Move the shopping cart
Inch by industrial inch.

all the Grocery outlets I've ever visited had really old produce
and foods that I'd never seen before.
But I jotted down labels and took notes and
SOMETIMES i came back to get an item or 2.
Maybe the theme is Observational and Metaphor?

The produce there is terrible, but for snack food and frozen stuff it's pretty great. Thanks for the theme suggestion.

Conveying the sometimes sensory overload of information nowadays when shopping I remember the days when information wasn’t important just the brand associated with each food
