Really Fast
How’s your day been?
My day’s been going
really fast
actually
she said with a smile
and a delighted little laugh
as she moved my items
across the barcode laser
with the precision and speed
you can only find
at Costco
And I said
GREAT.
and when I
walked away
with my $242 receipt (WTF?)
I wondered why
I had said
GREAT
that a woman is
delighted her day
is passing
as quickly as possible
When all I want
is for mine
to take a leisurely stroll
into eternity
