DeMoula's Market

Demoula's Market

I stalk
the ponderous aisles
the produce almost
pressing my
supple flesh.
Vines leap off
the sides of bins
tempting me
bearing their fruit.
Counterman
in their bloody whites
preside
over a glass mausoleum
of chilled meats.
Carts
madly jockey
for position
a Brazilian
skillfully
navigates
the twisting terrain
like a flashy soccer player
and I
plough blindly ahead
oblivious
to the din
the riotious colors of fruits
and man
and at the end
I will most assuredly
pay a price.
