I didn't realize that I was speaking polytheistically until I'd already said it.
“How it is out there?” asked the clerk, as she rang up my bottle of water and bag of ice.

She bagged up my things, smiling apologetically.
“Guess there's nothing we can do about it.”
I pick up the bag, smiling back.
“We'll take what they give us,” I say.
