Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Calculator | Jennifer Belliston

Slumped on an overstuffed couch
I search between the cushions and underneath.
I search the nooks and crannies of my apartment.
I search in every crevice.
Uselss. It is gone.
No more tinkering. No more problem solving.
No more number crunching and punching.
I used to fix everything.
Master the impossible, conquor the improbable.
Stun the disbelievers.
But, alas, no more.
It is gone, silent in an unvisited corner.
Gone from my planning, calculating life.
Gone with my future.
Gone.
