Invisible

Standing all alone in the checkout line
Cashier chatting with a bag boy while I wait
Doesn’t anybody see me standing here!
Whatever happened to customer service?
(Tomorrow, maybe I’ll bring a meat cleaver)

Maybe if I was taller?
Maybe if I didn’t wear glasses?
Maybe if I wasn’t so average?
Maybe if I was sexy?
Maybe I will be - tomorrow

Story in the newspaper the next day
“Local man runs amok on produce aisle”
“Walked into the grocery store on stilts”
“Wearing a red wig and a black negligee”
“Blindly swinging a meat cleaver”

“Taken to mental hospital for evaluation”
“Said he just wanted a salad for lunch”
“Restrained, sedated, and put in isolation”
“Said he wouldn’t be ignored anymore”
“Arraignment scheduled for tomorrow”

(but tomorrow never comes)
