Shopped Valentine (for Frank)

They were out of it
Or I was out of it
I’m not sure which
So I had to get you
Not your favorite yoghurt
And they had no fresh
Fruit so I had to get frozen
Often I was frozen in an aisle
Not listless but without a list
I had to stop and wonder
What we needed most tonight
Luckily the store is a map
In my head so I could survey
Its shelves almost as eerily
As the computer that put them there
Gathering and hunting
With my ancient skill
It wasn’t long before I caught you
Roses and a Beaujolais Nouveau
