Breaking Down

True story: middle class professionals are losing their minds!


THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
Breaking Down
I was breaking down boxes in the back when the door beeped,
Signifying the entrance of a customer
He was a man in a nice suit, crouching down behind the candy aisle,
Playing peek-a-boo. This became evident when he bobbed
His head first up then down then laughed
Just last night I’d sold him a Mountain Dew and a pack of Camels
I’m pretty sure he’d told me he was an accountant.
He’d seemed a little nervous, a little stressed, but ok
Tonight, I had to coax him to the counter with his Hershey’s bar
He asked if we were hiring, then asked if he could stay.
