Shopping Carts

Collusion of shopping carts
Gossiping about
How many groceries they've carried
That day.
Discussing the prices
Of steak and potatoes.

And the intimate habits of
Each customer.
How one snores and another has
a pet dog which
will only eat Fancy Feast.

And again, the employees,
How one thinks she's worked too long,
Again how this one can push 20 shopping carts in a row,
And he does,

Lined up like soldiers, awaiting battle,
Collusion of shopping carts is no more.
