Wonder Woman Goes Grocery Shopping as Diana Prince and Discovers that Evil Doesn't Always Carry a Gun or Wear a Goofy Costume
Wendy Babiak
Clark had shopped the week before, and Bruce
got as little peace as Mr. Wayne
as in the mask and cape. We needed juice
eggs and milk, the stuff to make chow mein
which Brainiac hankered for, and luncheon meats
and bread (we cooked with whole foods when we could
and found kitchen work a sound retreat
from the world we felt misunderstood
us and our endeavor) and snacks for Flash
whose wild metabolism exacted tribute
that would have made the greedy Romans blush.
So I stood reading type minute
enough to be illegible and saw a list of chemicals
on a can of juice, labeled, largely, “All Natural.”
