Can't Wait To Be An Export

Amy Lipman

There is a big part of me
That was disappointed upon learning
That I could get passport photos
At Walgreens
Because at Walgreens
People are unhappy with their jobs
And milk is out of stock
And people are buying Oreos
I’ve never felt the one need they could fix,
They will cure that guy’s red eyes-
God, I’ve never seen such a strung out young man-
Why am I buying
This thing that shows I can go around the world
At Stupid Fucking Walgreens?

I thought I was
Going to
Go places,
Today.

And there’s a part of me
That is glad I had only to drive
Get down just one street
To get my picture taken.
I am tired today
