279/365 - Navel (Gazing)

 


You were standing there
contemplating the cottage cheese
when your cart
ran away
I think the floor
of this grocery store
is sloped
I don't know

You were standing there
pondering your pedicure
when your cart
took a little vacay
I watched it roll
past the dairy
then turn and flee
down isle three

You were standing there
scrolling on your cell
when your cart
went on holiday
You didn't see
but it was quite funny
to watch your cart
depart

And when you finally 
turned around
and your cart
was nowhere to be found

Well 

I couldn't contain
my laughing
but I could see
you'd probably think
it was me
which is why I left
as hastily
as your cart
which was probably
half way to isle four
in this shitty
Lucky's store
