target (tar-ZHAY) on a friday

evening, i say,
say i see
easter candy
different flavors of cadbury
and they're all wrapped in springpastelfoil
aisle after aisle
i see smiles
in kids' stomachs,
karla's stomach,
karla's tongue;
karla's tongue will taste
bombay sapphire soon,
i'll taste tanq
tanqueray,
but in target we smell starbucks
crumplechinos, 3.79,
in mart-k
it's a packed parking lot!
in mart-k
of today.
