Saturday Job

Each Saturday,
The silence pushes me
Into my shallow, aching mind.

Some Saturdays,
I invite you in
And others you intrude.

Some Saturdays,
       You love me
But others, you are rude.

This Saturday, 
I dissect that conversation, 
our conversation.

Next Saturday, 
I will do the same.
Smiling to customers, you are nagging in my brain.

You have always been there.
Last Saturday and the one before
I wonder when the Saturday will come
That I don’t think about you
Anymore.
