Wake up… Get dressed… walk to the store.
Scan in Say hello, grab a draw
20,60,80 100…
Guess Im ready…
I’m 103.
no more no less.
For the next 9 hours that’s all I’ll be.
Next can step over please.
It’s the same routine
one after the other
“Hello, How are you?”
I say
“How are you” they respond.
But that is not an appropriate response!
You cannot answer a question with the same question
Do people even Listen to me?
deep breath
relax
“Thank you have a nice day”
Next can step over please
I ring up their items
I put them in the bags
but never the way they want
They throw money at me
and place it on the moving converybelt
I dive to grab it before it rolls under forever to be lost.
They look at me and ask “Well why does it move”
I stare at them in disbelief. It’s a converybelt I think
thats what it was made to do.
I smile, I apologize. Thank you for coming, have a nice day.
Next can step over please
One after the other
after the other… after the other…
the same routine, everyday.
It’s clocking out time.
I hand in my draw.
I am back to being me
I am Crystal not 103.
