At the Supermarket

Went to the market this afternoon while running various errands. As we were on our way out I noticed a coin changer machine, one of the big tall ones. The door was open and there was an apparent field service guy standing partly inside the thing, talking on an old-style telephone that was clearly built into the device. I made some remark about strange phonebooths, and

lisajulie asked what kind of superhero might come out of such a thing. I thought about that for a moment, imagined someone in a shiny metallic costume, and said,

“Coin Man.”

Without missing a beat, she said,

“An Agent for Change.”
