the cashier, Rhonda,
-
whose nametag said she was happy to help,
-
but who was neither happy nor helpful,
-
said that I couldn't return it
-
because it had already touched my "teef."
-
For someone whose jaw is about to unhinge,
-
you're sure flapping it a lot.
-
Why is this rag with my father on it here?
-
Don't look at me. Chestnut bought it.
-
He likes it when I read him his daily horse-oscope.
-
Why is everybody so obsessed with the fact that
-
he hasn't said anything?
