Electric smiles
meets ad land trade
in a plywood corner shop
where gossip’s made.
Over oat milk daydreams
he loops stage show lines
scrolling down messages
that keep him alive.
He does well for hearts
but less so in tips,
waiting on agent calls
and lucky coin flips.
The routine workers
envy his auto-charm
oblivious to the comfort
they hold in their palm.
