9435. THE SUPERMARKET OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

THE SUPERMARKET OF THE 

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

I went shopping therein. In the supermarket

of the seven deadly sins. I found avarice

and greed, easily enough, alongside pride 

and envy. The clerk in the next aisle told

me to stop handling the lust. 'It only leads

to another form of gluttony,' he said, quite

matter-of-factly, as if he knew. One row,

over, despair and wrath lurked. I told the 

girl there I was seeking vainglory. She said,

smiling,' I think it's over there, by sloth.'
