Reentering the Job Market After the Layoff
Inside the Medicine Cabinet
whitening toothpaste, tube folded near the end
self-tanning cream with a copper stain on the lid
tube of breath mints, wrapper torn, partially used
Rogaine can with its aerosol cap gone
contact lens case with solution in one well
a flat tube of menthol analgesic balm
small blue pills in a blister pack, two missing
fragments of antacids settling in the bottle
