Reflections In a Supermarket: A Poem

Nothing profound ever happens in a supermarket

Reflections In a Supermarket: A Poem

They say,

“Nothing profound ever happens in a supermarket.”

But,

I have often walked the crowded aisles

Submerged in a sea of faces

Consumed by my own thoughts

My own world

Only to be jarred out by,

A voice,

A wave,

A glance,

A purpose

Stuck in my own mind

I hear your voice and look up to find that

You see me

I see you, and

Though you do not answer

Your eyes speak volumes,

And I --for a moment--

Breath air again.

I love the entire year. Well, for the most part. I'm not a big fan of Winter, but even then, every month has something that's pretty great. November? Thanksgiving. December? Winter Holidays. January? New Year's. February? Valentine's and Single Awareness Day. May? Existential dread during finals. But for me, March has always been my favorite month of the year, and for good reason.
