D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

[weofodthignen]

The store is suddenly festooned with hearts of all sizes. One of them suddenly fell off the door at my feet. A fringed garland above a display case rattles when the heating comes on. And a string of foil hearts next to the cash register twists in the wind and reflects the fluorescent lights back at me so I think someone set off a flash grenade in the parking lot and it showed on the video monitor. I do not think I have the equanimity for this holiday.
