Blaze orange on the end cap – v2

the stores laid out
the things to grab quickly
fly dope, bug spay
maps and compasses
things for the deer camps
the lodges, the cabins
all quick, within reach

impulse buys different
up here, up north, by the woods
apples and tortilla chips
yes they are familiar
something I have seen before
but usually a different placement
further from the front door
further out in the store

blaze orange on the end caps
right by the door
caps, vests, jackets
bug spray and blankets
ready for quick purchase
a dead moose, heavy
a trophy on display
in the pickup out front
