Read this phrase from Allen Ginsberg’s "A Supermarket in California." I wandered in and out of the brilliant stacks of cans following you, and followed in my imagination by the store detective. From this excerpt, it can best be inferred that the speaker is unconcerned about the time. searching for a particular item. being closely watched for shoplifting. overwhelmed by the multitude of choices.

The answer is: unconcerned about the time

In the phrase from Allen Ginsberg’s poem"A Supermarket in California," the speaker exhibits a lack of interest or worry about temporal length. In that respect, he is shopping at a supermarket in California, where he imagines piles of cans and a store detective pursuing him physically. Actually, in the rest of the poem, the narrator fantasizes about discovering imagines finding Federico García Lorca and Walt Whitman shopping there.
