a2 + b2 = c2 Poem by Glenn Colquhoun
a2 + b2 = c2
In the local supermarket
a man travels north
between the canned
goods and the sugar;
in his basket:
skin,
bone,
doubt,
mayonnaise
and
candles.
His heart is a small red tin.
A woman passes west
to test the fruit;
in her trolley:
potatoes,
matches,
lipstick,
loneliness
and
danger.
Between these two -
a shared hypotenuse:
flesh and blood,
hope,
potato salad
and candlelight.
