   The Shopgirl

The Shopgirl

The Shopgirl wonders
if those light
fingertip touches
solicited with each
cash transaction
are cheapening her general
romantic interest.
After work she goes home and
sits by herself on the couch
wearing soft gloves.
Outside in the sky
far stars are small white
scrunched dockets.
Inside the gloves her hands
make small fists.
