b-kwik

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
