REPARTEE

Seems after she's finished 
paying
a modicum 

of attention—
to a humid afternoon's 
worth of outdoor 

fuss by her husband—
the protuberant-
haired woman 

who mans the
discombobulated 
counter—is now able to muster 

just the drooping 
kind 
of workplace remark—that she, 

for one, doesn't
really mind 
the rain all that much—

having earned
the sober
privilege to 

cogently observe—that lord knows
her plants!
could sure use it.
