Tramped through Trader Joe's

Quick stop

Know the store

Know what I want

Know where items lurk

No matter the item

A person was dawdling

Weighing their purchase

Uncanny in canned goods

Forgetful in the freezer aisle

Picking around the produce

There they were

Shopping zombies

Mind mirror minions

Mulling things over

Deflecting my target

Cart blocking

Spatial interference

My desire

Denied

It was uncanny

Unconsummated consumable

Delayed gratification

Paused

I was waiting

I was playing

2D mirror checkers on

3D Trader Joe's chessboard
