Noon in the Line Outside

The pretty woman with a prisoner number, CDCP *****, written in

ballpoint on the palm of her hand. “You have to give them the

number.” “You can't bring anything inside.” “I'll hold your

place in the line while you go back to the car.” Her clear

plastic pocketbook full of quarters for the vending machines inside.

“It has to be clear plastic.” “You're allowed $30. in quarters.”

I find his number, with the prison pen I write it on the palm of my hand.
