wal-mart customer

who would’ve known 
the guy who considers anything 
with a vegan label to be a threat 
on a par with the suitcase nuke 
is also the guy who’s never come 
within a bargepole’s distance 
from the self-checkout line 
and the one who refuses to return
his shopping cart to the stack 
and leaves it in the gap 
between his jeep grand cherokee 
and the car next to it a 3/4th drunk 
plastic cup of mountain dew 
in the cupholder who would’ve 
known who would’ve known who 
would’ve known?
