at this odd hour when all the taps
have just come back full blast.
She has a flannel shirt just like mine
sans the hole in front.
Mine is 25 years old.
Has done a lot of painting.
She has almost invisible hearing aids just like mine
but I can see her's as her hair is shorter.
I don't really want to pay the convenience store $8 for 3 items.
But the tube of black paint is drying by the minute
and time is calling to me like Georgia O'Keefe's flowers.
Besides, what is a convenience store for if not for convenience, which comes with a price.
I consider asking if the scratches on his legs are due to diabetes, and then don't.
I had to post the check before the deadline.
I don't want to go to the grocery except with a cart to buy $120+ worth of food.

At 6 or 7 PM the working employed will come back
30 somethings they talk to each other.
One works at Discovery
the other with a fat pleasant suety dark face
at Immigration
(a lot going on there)
They almost totally ignore
the seniors like me who work at home.
My poetry bug switches on
I take notes.
