At the Hissing
Electric Eye Doors
An old man shuffles his walker to the doors
The
sanitary wipes are to the left
A gum-chewer brushes by with a plastic sack
Ranks of
shopping carts rust to the right
A child skips through; her mother yells, “Wait! Wait!”
A
three-color circular blows by
An angry woman flings her cigarette down
Right
there beneath the NO SMOKING sign
Another old man growls, “Son of a *****!”
Because
he’s pulled the cart with a wobbly wheel
