if she can absolutely guarantee that
these shirts i'm about
to purchase will never need ironing.
i hate ironing,
getting the creaky board out
in the laundry room,
filling up the iron with
water for steam.
then there's the starch can.
too much, too little?
wondering if i turned it off,
heading back home to check.
she points at the label
on the plastic bag and says,
see that,
says right there mister.
permanent press.
she moves her finger across
the words.
can't you read?
are you blind or something?
it says
never need ironing.
she shakes her head
and rolls her eyes.
will that be cash or credit,
are you a member?
you can get reward points
if you buy two bags of shirts.
