Macy's one clerk

there's no
clerks in the store. just
one solitary woman working
the register.
she's frazzled.
the line backs up
to men's underwear
around the corner
past the cologne counter.
i look at
the shirts and pants
i'm holding in my arms.
do i really need
these things?
don't i already have these
exact same clothes.
yup. so i set them down
on the bin
thirty feet away from
the check out.
let them deal with it.
