Do you dare think that you are superior? You are not familiar with her, she who stands before you. Yet you find yourself above such a creature who has moved oceans and rescued sailors out at sea, while swallowing bucketfuls of salt water, without protest. You dare think that you are superior? She has washed up on shore, spurting blood from her lips but she does not tell you her adventures in turmoil.   You do not care, for you are only passing through. You begin to utter choice words, but you may bite your tongue. For she will send the tides to drown you out at sea.

The Girl Behind the Counter
Do you dare think that you are superior? You are not familiar with her, she who stands before you. Yet you find yourself above such a creature who has moved oceans and rescued sailors out at sea, while swallowing bucketfuls of salt water, without protest. You dare think that you are superior? She has washed up on shore, spurting blood from her lips but she does not tell you her adventures in turmoil.   You do not care, for you are only passing through. You begin to utter choice words, but you may bite your tongue. For she will send the tides to drown you out at sea.
Inspired by years of working in customer service and facing people who think it's cool to be cruel to you when they do not know who you really are.
