DEBIT CHARGE PENDING

By chance
he ran into
his 4th grade teacher today
Miss Halpern

How  infinitesimal
she seemed to  him
nowadays
small and fragile

she was once
larger than life
to him
He said
hello Miss Halpern
but
she became
frightened by him

and
somewhere
between
the three for a dollar
cans of tomato soup
and
beef jerky  envelopes
he became
less smarter
from it all
