Counter Help
She slides behind the counter
Tall blue-eyed wonderment
Complete with blue company apron
Fitting in, can I help you?
Soft flaxen hair, grown thin
Small talk breaks through the service
In friendly courteous gestures
Yet, when not at work
Wait… did you see her?
Isn’t that Bridgett from the bakery?
Tall black heels
Dark sleek, shiny pants
Stepping out
She’s headed out to see him
Or who, or what, we don’t know
She won’t be serving pastry tonight,
or will she?

It would be interesting to see her at work early the next day
and how happy or not happy she would seem.
hair grown thin–great image
