store
to get four new tires for
the truck.
i have a set picked out.
on sale.
i see the ad online.
where the rubber meets
the road it says.
yelp gives them four stars.
bob in mechanicsville
says they're the best tires he's
ever owned.
betty in spotsylvania county
claims
it's the softest ride
this side of her Serta bed.
wide, good traction
in rain, or snow.
of course they don't have that
particular tire anymore,
the ones i'm holding
a coupon on.
the man shrugs and taps
his greasy fingers
on the counter. Covid,
he says. Supply chain.
ya know?
but we do have this tire.
this one here.
the ones we never sell.
pull up over there
and we'll call you when
we're done.
