WHEN THE WEALTHY SHOP AT WALMART

How they walk, talk, look, choose, pay.

How elegantly dressed, perfumed, and bejewelled.

What they plan to tell spouses, friends, employees.

How they point in amazement.

What they buy.

A bag of apples to share and never eat because of their false teeth.

How they push their near-empty carts slowly and with glee.

They are so pleased, so impressed to see poorly dressed people buying food.

Huge piles of food in their carts, those poor people.

And the languages spoken. Oh my! How foreign sounding.

How they describe their experiences.

“It was so, so, so democratic!”
