at the returns counter

As we wait to return
what we thought we wanted,
with our minds on our things
like our shoes on our feet,
can we think of the nude
that lives under our clothes,
can we think of the song
that our soul wants to sing,
even think of the night
when our skin will be touched
by a beam from the sun
that has bounced off a rock
on the moon?
