Read this stanza from Allen Ginsberg’s "A Supermarket in California." I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel? What is happening in this stanza?

The speaker addresses Walt Whitman throughout the poem and imagines him moving through the supermarket. The questions about the pork chops, bananas, and being an angel are presented as questions Whitman is asking, not as the speaker shopping or testing employees. So the speaker is imagining the questions Whitman would ask if he were there.
