At the Acme
I picked up a grocery list someone left in their cart. The last item was, "Don't forget the love", next to a drawn heart. 
Reading that line, a feeling unfolded in me that love's red threat runs through all things.
So, I watched to see it in action, and there it was, a father, arms heavy with groceries, stopping to make funny faces to soothe his crying child.
A man, hands shaking with age being helped by a young woman to bag his peaches. And, a voice in my head said that love was a doing a moment shared, not based on schemes or profit or discourse.
Love has its own discourse in the heart.
Oh, I know the risks, how love can explode in our face like gunpowder. How its quixotic riptides push us to make hurried declarations.
Or like a crowbar, it can pry our heart open against our will. But now, here at the checkout line, I want to add it as a major food group - tuck it in my bag along with the paper towels, carrots, and peas.
