The thought passed through my mind
That I could start
Knocking cans from the shelves and
Also rolls of towels, toilet paper
Silver foil
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...
Then another thought occurred to me:
People generally consider something
Before they do it
I pushed my cart along...
A woman in a checkered skirt was
Bending over the pet food section
The second thought comes from his socially constructed ego. He realizes that he is civilized and civilized people do not act this way. After all, society is also our protector. It protects us from hurting ourselves and from hurting others, as well as helping to improve our overall lives. If society didn’t force people to think about what they did before they did it, the world would be in utter chaos.
