Grocery Bagger

The man was 40 something, the girl was 38.

- his hair was streaked with grey

- his heart showed little age

The man was 40 something, the girl was 38

- her skin held scars and wrinkles

- her body was a cage

*Her body was a cage, like the one used for crabs.

One that's been discarded, leaning on a shack*

Ex. her crab-empty cage of a body

The man was 40 something, the girl was 38

- He was made for Oregon

- She was made to smile

The man was 40 something, his father 96

- he lived in an apartment in the east

- she needed a place to stay

NOTE **He was once 27, and she was 22

- they had lived out west

- they had a large breed dog**

He was 40 something, the girl was 38

- she showed up on his doorstep

- he showed her to her room

He was 40 something, the girl was 38

- his father couldn't speak,

- the girl wouldn't say why she wouldn't eat his food

NOTE for the next watcher **The apartment complex was full of broken hearts and empty bodies**

He wondered if she'd love him again

he mumbled "Breezeblocks" by Alt-J when unloading the groceries

The man was 40 something, and she was 38

- She'd pass out on the balcony every other day,

naked, with a cigarette in hand

The man was 40 something, and she was 38

- he went to work bagging groceries

- The town's gossip thrived there

REMEMBER **The apartment complex was full of broken hearts and empty bodies

- after two weeks they knew her empty body well

- They weren't surprised to see it hang** (huh)

The man was 40 something, and she 38

- they didn't know he loved her

- she couldn't feel the same

The man was 40 something, and she was for the grave

- she couldn't feel at all

NOTE for the reader **there are people you can't save**

So the man was 40 something

- she was
