I could throw oranges, bananas, tomatoes
Through the air, I could take cans of
Beer from the refrigerated section and
Start gulping them, I could pull up
Women's skirts, grab their asses
I could ram my shopping cart through
The plate-glass window...

Bending over the pet food section
I seriously considered grabbing her

I had the items I needed and I rolled
My cart up to the checkout stand
A lady in a red smock with a nameplate
