Necessary items stacked
higgledy piggledy in shopping carts.
Food for pangs of hunger
not necessarily for nourishment
but delicious pastries all the same
water bottled and packaged
a bouquet of flowers perched
on top of rolls of paper towels
beside fresh French baguettes
fresh fruits and vegetables spaced
midst the overflowing abundance.
“The art of our necessities is strange
that can make vile things precious.”
~ William Shakespeare, King Lear
