auto dealership soundscape
clang
he bangs the metal pole in the showroom
with the school ring on his right hand
thwack
the storage room door is next
a wooden slap like water against a boat
clack-clack
his shined shoes clomp out an uneven rhythm
on the square tiles of the lobby floor
sigh
but no one is coming in today
and there’s nothing to do but wait
