Customers
Customers with Obama area codes,
sapphire resonance,
weeks without dream,
they shuffle along in their
mismatch disasters, picking their skin as if there’s something there.
Looming, waiting
for the opportune time to infect.
In their pockets,
faded scraps of paper
inscribed with
supermarket
barroom codes.
