When I went to the grocery store
I didn\u2019t come for biscuits.
In the aisle near the door,
there was biscuit on the floor.
And all over his mother screamed,
Removing her face mask
come what hell brings.
\u201cBiscuit!\u201d she shouted out loud
Sputtering her sputum
into that hot crowd.
\u201cBiscuit!\u201c she did shout again
Because repetition to her
was no grievous sin.
\u201cMama!\u201d Biscuit shouted in return
He ran through the store
Like a fever does burn.
I\u2019m sorry I don\u2019t know how
This story ends,
But I hope I survive
To come again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
