Supermarket Sadness
I miss her, the lady who worked
The cash register, making change,
We traded greetings, which
Self-checkouts now rearrange,
Into a colder cost-efficient

Far Out (By Philip Larkin)
Beyond the bright cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on the air.
These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight.
For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.
