Missed Connections - Olympia - November 5th, 2008

I saw you in Fred Meyer, you were in the bread aisle. I saw you touch a loaf of bread. You put it back, and then wandered with your cart until you came to the jellies. I saw the way you looked at the Smuckers strawberry jelly. I passed you by, on my way to the cereal aisle, and I saw you looking at me, or were you looking at the jelly? I know the jelly comes in my different colors and consistencies. I understand why you would look at it. I liked the way you looked at the jelly and the way the bread hung in your arms, as if you were cradling an infant.
