I Remember Where I Was When it Happened

Was at work a couple days ago, stationed by the exit.

A customer came up to the door. Stared blankly at it. Then at me.

Took me a few seconds before I realized what he wanted.

"Push it," I told him.

He did.

It worked.

It was 10:23 A.M.

as he walked out the door

of the Henry Crown Museum

of Space Exploration

and drove somewhere

far away.
