KostKoLandious...

I met a shopper from an American land
who said, one vast membership club
is right off the interstate. Strewn about its lot
countless carts & hoarder-scooters are on hand
Near them in the store, half drunk, a vested greeter cries
whose bloated waist, gaping mouth, and useless hands
tell that well upon these products fed
whose nutritional facts remain, stamped on these sordid things
the 100 gallon ice cream drum, & the rucksack of insulin
to keep them from dropping dead
And on the labels, these words appear
"The manufacturer assumes no liability,
for any diseases derived from things in here.
Our prices for these things are more than fair."
No produce section remains, 'round the decay
of this KostKo. mess. Lost in vacant stares,
the lines from listless checkers stretch far away...
