Counter Girl

Ganesha has nothing on me
and I pet your choice of
Christian Fic and YA Novels

Not quite special enough for
the weekly Wednesday
meetings

But oh do I like a challenge

Standing alone in my element
books and people
random encounters
possibilities out the
proverbial yin-yang

And then it's done
no one noticed
and I'm driving back
to where the quiet ones
come from

It's only a year in the life
and I fade, like I always do
in the background of
your
his
her
day-to-every single of my lifetime

until they ask for me
two months later
wondering where she went
so smiley
so helpful
so good at being
what they wanted
what they needed
what they didn't know they had

until it was gone.
