excerpt 20



Going to a grocery store, wasn't my  primary concern. The verity occured  when I went inside the store, and  approached the shelf-like structures.  Here, consecrated holy winds,  sang dearth anthems through the shelf,  like an wind instrument in a symphonic hall.  Now, that's true on-key jingoistic tonality!

Though, abiding by set rule, I must omit  the meat department. Where glimmering  ossified fossils, haphazardly arranged  were perceived as delights.  Such glistening delectation, were  skillfully and delicately retrieved off  shelf, as if they were a rare  archeological finding.
