Daily bigjac Black Friday Poetry Slam

by bigjacbigjacbigjac

I work at Walmart.

So.

A pallet,
for those of you who only shop in stores,
and have never worked behind the scenes,
a pallet is about four feet
by a little less
than four feet
by however high it is stacked,
often about four feet,
sometimes five or six feet.

Some special displays
are four by four by four, almost exactly.

Anyway,
I have been dealing with these pallets
for about 18 years,
but more so just lately.

This is the first time I have been
assigned to the backroom inventory crew
in the weeks leading up to,
in the days leading up to,
Black Friday.

We can't afford to have the government spend

Business travelers in France can get on 250 mile an hour trains that leave from clean modern stations on time. American businessmen can sit in traffic on the way to aging airports over broken roads or take old slow trains that bump along rails that were obsolete in the 1960s. Because we can't afford modern railways in America.  We can afford a trillion dollar war in the middle east in which the government airlifted crates of cash that then disappeared.
