plastic grocery
bag — tamale, black beans
— Cheetos and a Coke
from the vending machines:
a dollar-twenty-five.
a television hangs from the
ceiling of the break room, Late Night
With Seth Meyers mimes
to the captioning.
what would someone watching
from the yellow glow
of the parking lot see?
a man — alone — laughing
to himself?
