spikes click across
Imperial tile
running through b-kwik
sweaty hair
football gear
tore-up turf
trailing behind
grabbing milk
grabbing bread
priced for convenience
priced
for the working class
sometimes
at checkout
a “secret” treat, while
dad waits in the car
window down
WKBW on the radio
in the strip plaza
sited to block competition
since the Super Duper
exploded under
suspicious circumstances
bricks blown for blocks
on Mother’s Day
as the family business
succumbed to changing market
we head home
with what we need
oblivious to the desperation
that drove her son to arson
when he finally had to admit
there was no longer space
for a six aisle grocery
