 The automatic doors open,

You are swallowed like Jonah

In the belly of the whale

Only here, you get to pick the meat

Off the teeth in the jaws,

Grocery shopping in a cool space;

You shop according to colour,

Or you shop according to taste,

The cashier ask you to tap or insert;

Paper receipts shuffle out of the device,

The automatic doors open,

You are outside in the glaring sunlight,

With a plastic grocery bag,

Having left the ground floor of the building.

  1. Grocery shopping is cool if you shop by color or taste. I really liked the part of being swallowed in the belly of the whale.

  4. I don’t like shopping, especially not in big supermarkets or department stores, I much prefer street markets, so can identify with the feeling of being ‘swallowed like Jonah in the belly of the whale’. As a vegetarian, I’m not enamoured with picking meat off the teeth in the jaws! Nicely done, Gillena!

  7. I get sort of overwhelmed by our large grocery stores, but I imagine in the heat, it must feel good to be in a cool place. 💙

  8. '"Swallowed in the belly of the whale" pretty fair depiction of grocery shopping nowadays!

  9. Shopping in one of these large (and cold) supermarket sounds convenient, but in the end it becomes just routine...

  13. I see supermarkets being built larger and larger. It is like being swallowed up by a whale. I try to shop in smaller places when i can.
