Eye Bags

These bags under my eyes weren’t doing me any good,

so I took them to the store to put groceries in them.

The type of store like Save-A-Lot,

where the produce is at times questionable,

but all the dry goods are much more affordable.

I got my items and began to checkout and the cashier asked me,

“Would you like to buy some bags?”

To which I responded, saying, “No, thanks, I’ve got my own.”

The cashier did a double take and eyed me, “Are you doing alright, you look a bit rough?”

I just blinked in irritation and flatly replied with one word, “Insomnia.”
