TALL MAN ON AISLE 10

To the man on Aisle Ten

who helped me reach

the Holy Grail

cleverly disguised

as the last box of cereal

I thank you.

Not because I’ll return home

a hero

It is unlikely they’ll even say ‘Thank You’

But, tomorrow is Saturday;

my day off from work.

I’ll sleep without alarm

for an extra ten minutes

or even quite more

All because you handed me

the stars - (now with magic moons)
