He was in my line
With his wife
I pushed buttons
I took his cash.
I bagged their items.
“Are you an Orthodox Jew?”
“No” I said, “Why do you ask?”
He shares a small laugh
With is wife.
“Your curly hair…
and your nose.” He said.
“I was raised Catholic.”
I said…
“So were we.” He said,
with his wife.
I stand. I’m a cashier.
Christ, when does my shift end.
“So you’re not a practicing
Catholic?” He asks.
“I was raised Catholic.” I say.
I look to the left.
There are big windows there.
I can see outside.
