Lidl’s just watching cheap alphabetic
spaghetti, assailed by piped music from the Second
Viennese School, some elegant waltzing
reductive propositions, self-evident as the
reductions in Lidl’s own Premium High Juice
discounted, and minding my own commercial activity
to comment to the girl of the till that they no longer
stocked them peppers from Hungary, perhaps
it was the sub-text or bad grammar
because she invited me outside
to go goose-stepping toe-toe with the theme song
of 2001 Space Odyssey; she won by two flights
of the Valkeries and a kick in ma latent supplementary
jouissance to my rather condensed version of
Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence and sultanas. She agreed
to let go, provided I paid cash for three sublimed
special offers, which took the change from a
credit card, leaving me something with which
to greet next week, when peppers
might stage a come back and the spaghetti spell
out ma destiny, at some affordable recompense.
