Poem: "Conversation Overheard At A Local Costco"

"Conversation Overheard At A Local Costco"

She eyes the cashier with contempt
Twenty items or less
Been walking for over two hours
The black eyeliner is fading

Amid the countless heads
The woman in blue slaps her husband's face
And spills the milk

A moppy haired green behind the gills
Winks his approval with a flick
Of the wrist
Tragedy is avoided

The clock reads ten minutes
Before bedlam.
