It was Harry’s Supermarket
The place we all knew
The place we all went to.

There was a time
When I was younger
A toddler really
And yes, I remember that time
I remember most things in life except when
I was a baby.
No one remembers being a baby.

But there was a time,
A time inside Harry’s that I stood beside my momma
We wove up and down and

No way to intervene.

They tumble and they stumble,

I wish this wasn’t it

Rock bottom never seemed so scary

I love the way you call me from high above the starry sky.

A green beast.

An angry beast.

A large, hideous beast.

What’s this thing that

presses from the inside out?

Suffocating,

stomping on the lungs.

It knocks out all the

oxygen…
