"At Your Service
'The #customer is always right'—
a god,
sans name tag,
tongue blistered by retail goss.

Demands
snap
like spent matchsticks
into my stock-marked chest.

I bow—origami spined,
creased,
then re-creased
until resistance is receipt-thin—
a torn tissue,
today’s special offer."

'I hope that if I bang my head against the wall, it will help me to think of a story,' said Toad."
