The screen is blinking, faint and slow.
The numbers fade before they show.
I saw him by the frozen peas.
A sudden shaking in my knees.
He didn't ask me for the bill.
The air in the aisle was very chill.
He looked down at the generic flakes.
I felt the way a person breaks.
The silence cost a lot today.
More than I could ever pay.
He turned his cart and walked away.
The sky is staying heavy gray.
