Groceries.
May 20, 2009
I work in a store.
I scan, lift, scan. Scan, lift, scan. Scan, lift, scan.
“Hi sir how are you?”
I say to the man.
Scan, lift, scan. Scan, lift, scan.
“Do you have your card?”
Scan, lift, scan. Scan, lift, scan. Scan, lift scan.
The rhythm of life.
Love what we can, Love what we can, Love what we can.
All moving in a line,
Scan, lift, scan.
Person after person,
Scan, lift, scan.
Scan
No more items in sight,
Your TOTAL.
Last customer tonight.
