with a handbasket overflowing i explained what i was
doing here and he said shit, paused,
took the basket from me and unclipped
his nametag, caught my hand and to
a worker passing by said im on my break.
squeezed my fingers and started off down the aisle
saying what else do you need? they just came out with fresh bread.
