Aisle of the damned

Tell me about 

the moment

when you 

finally cracked. 

Well the day 

began poorly

when I was 

told I was sacked. 

It all was 

a dreadful blur

then the boss

quoted Schumpeter.

What did he say?

He told me

'chin up and

look at 

the plus'. 

I think 

he meant

his gain was 

my loss. 

Next he explained

that creative 

change came

through chaos. 

How did you feel?

I thought 

it was funny

I thought 

it was sad. 

I said goodbye

 to my plants

and tried not 

to get mad. 

What did you do next?

I went home 

to my lover,

my darling 

betrothed. 

She said she 

needed space:

the welcome

was cold. 

What more did you suffer?

I went to 

the supermarket

to buy me 

some brews. 

I needed 

to digest 

the glass

half-empty news. 

What did you find there?

In the strange 

prison-like shelves

I saw hellish 

signs of change. 

The beer had 

been restocked

with a low 

calory range. 

The manager 

quoted progress 

and superior

customer service

What happened next?

A red fog 

descended

and the devil's 

spawn bled. 

They'd moved 

the damned aisle 

where they

kept the bread.
