The Neighborhood Improves
Whole Foods
just unfolded
an extravaganza
in my neighborhood
where
the supermarket
used to be
a Harrod's
Food Hall
casbah
tropical marketplace
replete with plastic
banyan tree
and orchids
sorry
staff abounded
making secret
shooting
quite
impossible
on the acres
three along
with raw
meat and fish
produce
dairy
and a bakery
filled with
frosted crusted
wonders
one can find
a sushi bar
a pizza bar
a salad bar
an Asian bar
an Italian bar
a fried fish bar
a barbeque bar
a coffee bar
a gelato bar
a dessert bar
an olive bar
and everything
on every bar
is a mere
$7.99 a pound
clothing too
baby buntings
shaped like
chilis
carrots
Earth Shoes
organic creams
beauty potions
for the pure
before I
flagged from
wretched
excess
I acquired
artichokes
on sale
two for $3
a six pack
of store brand
sparkling water
and a big OJ
Alas
no Tide
no Cheerios
for
inorganic
heathens
just like me
Photo note: One of eight hundred fuscia orchids lining the windows of the dining area overlooking the parking lot. 'Twas all I dared shoot, on this, my first excursion -- the place was crawling with personnel
