Have a nice day

she walks through the door
and I am jello
quivering and jiggly
I hope she sees my color
I hope she senses my sweetness
because even though I am just
a lowly convenience store clerk
and she is a gliding goddess
I could give her some serious worship
I could bow down at her feet
and present her with my adoration
I've never seen another girl 
like this one, I swear
she's so unique, so different
her aura emanates the most
positive, radiant vibes
her hair looks wild 
like Einstein's
like she doesn't care at all
like she has never discovered
styling products
like she's too busy thinking
deep, swirling thoughts
and collecting jeweled ideas
in the cosmos or something
she has this amazing face
pale with freckles
and these piercing sapphire eyes
that glow with serenity and truth
but when she puts her candy bar
and fountain drink on the counter
and unzips her purse
all I can do is take her money
and say
Have a nice day.
