How many kinds of receipts do you want?
Asks the cashier.
(I'm a little irritated now.)
Is it always this busy? I ask.
Oh no, he says,
During the week it's dead.
I walk back to my car with my modest bag of hardware
Feeling like a foreigner,
Feeling how liminal life has become.
Man, am I anxious to get back to my quarantine
And to my wonderful disappointed wife!
