the part time job

rarely do i see the same
clerk
the next day
in any store.
never knowing their name.
their face.
they come and go.
the clock punched
one last time,
the uniform
turned in.
there's no gold
watch
at the end
of an eight hour shift.
no retirement
plan
fulfilled,
but you wonder where
they go.
