Rows of tulip trees rain down petals beneath my bare feet.
Reminiscent of grocery aisles.
I, dairy.
You, condiments.
Cream cheese.
Garlic powder.
Pyramids of BBQ sauce under beach umbrellas.
So close yet so far.
Same general idea, out of sight.
I know you aren't behind these trees,I know you aren't hungry.
Bark.
Food stamps.
My heart is rumbling,I'm a nest of leaves falling apart.
Whirling on blacktop getting stuck in your cart.
