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?
