AT YOUR SERVICE: Circle K

CIRCLE K

‘Twenty on pump five...’
‘...and all this...’ 

I say

Spreading a buffet of caffeinated ambition
and bad nutrition
In array

:: grinning embarrassment ::

“ ...and I’d just like to thank you for both my breakfast
and lunch today.”
Her genuine smile covers my shame

‘This will get you through’ she says
‘that’s all anybody is ever tryin’ to do. 
Have a good day, now’

I went out and did just that 
Understanding somehow, 
Her day would be good now, too.
