SUPERMARKET

The aisles have it. Walk the aisles.

Some people like to find just what

they want without asking. Some like

to consult the aisle labels hanging

up there. Some ask. Some don’t know

what they want. At 10 it’s different

than 20 to 30. From 30 to 40 it’s different

than 50 to 60. After 70 we don’t really

know what we want till we realize

we’re not buying what we really want.

Sometimes we use what we bought,

because we can’t put it back. Sometimes

we go to another supermarket - or

some small store someone told

somebody about - who told us.

Wait a minute. What do I really want?
