Grendal at the 7/11

2016

Night shift,

He's a fog on the security screen
Quiet, never leaves the torn boxes on the floor, gives extra change to the clerks
Who ignore the shocked drivers, snatched midscream at the gas pumps,
Wash the dumpster walls
And never worry that thieves or heavy traffic
Will disrupt their peace.
