how do u meet some1 @ trader joes?

skinny lil grocery baggers
& lil produce-stocker foodies:
trader joe's is a fantastic store
cuz all the bois are keuties

i needed to get some fixins
4 the big football bash on sunday
& when i stood in the checkout line
i saw u glancing my way

a keut lil trader joe's bagger
w/a beard & a lil black beanie
did our eyes meet just by chance?
or did u want to bag my weenie?

when i peered @ u a 2nd time
i new there was something there
i wanted u 2 know i liked u too
but i didn't want 2 glare

i was assigned a bagger two stalls behind u
but i slowed deliberately as i passed u by
u tipped up your chin, i smiled back
w/a lil glimmer in my eye

but that was that, u had 2 keep bagging
& i carried my groceries 2 the street
i wish i could have said 'hi bro, how's it goin?'
but we never got 2 meet

perhaps u've forgotten my face by now
through trader joe's many attractive men flow
the hipster type, with scraggly beards
we must all look the same 2 u, i know

maybe i'll see u next week
& u'll get to bag my food
i'll tell u my name, give u my #
say, 'u seem like a pretty cool dude'

but maybe tuesday night was all we get
the only moment on earth we'll share
the thought makes me feel quite lonely
sometimes it seems too much 2 bear

we're all alone in this big gross city
it's dark, it's scary, it's cold
but maybe to meet a partner
i've just got 2 b a lil more bold

i salute u, keut lil bagger
bagging food at the trader joe's
i hope we can meet, hang out, go on a date
maybe we're meant 2 b, maybe u'll b my mate
i'll be glad if that's how the wind blows

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
is trader joe's more authentic than the wholes foodses?
r the trader joe's staff s0000 alt-keut?
how r u supposed to meet some1 in a public space?
how do u find a date?
hav u ever made suggestive eye contact w/some1 @ trader joe's/a nightclub/mcdonalds/the L train/at an AnCo show? how did it turn out 4u?
did u go on craigslist the next day and search the 'missed connections' tab?
did u write a 'missed connections' post on craigslist?
r we all sad, lonely ppl?
should i get a job @ trader joe's drawing chalk doodles of bananas?

  1. Been missing your blog in the backcountry of Thailand. Good to see you haven't slowed down. No Trader Joe's out here, we try to stick with the 'dtalat nut', totally less mainstream. Maybe not as many cute guys working the stalls though.
