Cinnamon Zone
World from a different angle

The grocer's children

The grocer's children
eat day-old bread,
moldy cakes and cheese,
soft black bananas
on stale shredded wheat,
weeviled rice, their plates
heaped high with wilted
greens, bruised fruit,
surprise treats
from unlabeled cans,
tainted meat.
The grocer's children
never go hungry.

Herbert Scott, 1976
 
Deep, no?
