FROM BELOW SHOPPING CARTS

Standing at a food department
in the massive supermarket,
I found myself
much alone
and surrounded by huge shopping carts filled with food.
I felt as if I were only a small child.
And I was really very poor.
I held a shopping basket,
in which there were only a low-priced packed lunch
and a small can of coffee.

From below shopping carts,
I could see the motive for theft.
