The Cash Register
True necessities are bought
A candy is simply an afterthought
A line as long as the Mississippi River
The wait to buy does irritation trigger
After an eternity do I get closer to buy
The disdainful clerk does not even offer a 'hi'
Instead I am pushed back
Because of skin tone I lack?
Refused treatment
My skin a detriment
What am I to do?
