11,782. FIVE CARDS OUT OF THE BOX

FIVE CARDS OUT OF THE BOX
I knew you when a straight-edge
wasn't straight and the air-tight
container wasn't yet air-tight. This
much is for sure, and ain't that right!
My magnificent soliloquies, which
I'd practiced for so long, came across
OK, but yet when I got to you, I could
not speak and just stood there gaping.
There was a line at your register, while
other people waited : discount cards
and gift cards, Jeez, they take forever.
Or was that perhaps some new kind 
of time-wand you were handling?
I was sure I did see something I'd
not seen before. Scanner bars and
ID tags from another, newer law.
