all lost in the supermarket

can no longer shop happily
came here for the special offer
... ...


Mackerel fillets
Sealed to the bone.
Grey-gold flesh straight-
Jacketed, taut
Energy sapped;
Just a bundle
Of moribund
Flavour waiting
To be consumed
Digested, ex-
Creted into
Ocean waste.
This is the fate
Of the shrink wrapped.
