Swarming with the morning troupe
near the eggs-and-butter cooler
magnetized next to deli counter
pirouetting between with practiced ease
bending delicately over slabs of meat
stretching gracefully for cereal mixes
waltzing toward frozen-food cases
dodging some out-of-rhythm plodders
on point for paper towel choices
bowing low before detergent soaps
threading intricate, crowded spaces
among displays of fruits and produce
swanning discretely into pastry section
twirling round and round stacks of treats
queuing up at last in chorus line of carts
eager to hear the cashier's ringing applause.
