mental indigestion

type for the tired and desperate cashier
that shoots you a subtle smile
type for the used car salesman
that just can’t catch a break

type for resolution
type for a happiness almost attainable
type for winter’s end

type to keep going
break the line
type to let it flow
or possibly to let go
type to avoid denial
and remember who you are
and finally, type because it just feels good
