Walking slowly along each row, tempted
Severely tempted
Picking up cartons, bottles and cans
Unable to read words that have more than 12 letters
Technical terms, perhaps scientific
Certain of one thing
This is an aisle of death
Desperate for goodness
Wholesome sustenance severely lacking
Remembering childhood days of homely cooking
Simple times
Nutrition and taste, even size, so different
Advancements for the worse
Seeking anything that may be natural
Frightened, indeed terrified at complicated labels
College degree now required to shop
Deathly ingredients
Mass-produced to suit convenience
Body aching for just one item of normality
Unable to come to terms with choices
Consumed by a fear of ignorance.
