The Home Depot checkout clerk eyes my cart, then looks up at me, then back at the cart. She wants to say something about the cart’s contents, but she doesn’t know how I will respond. I give her a friendly smile. It’s okay, the smile says, I have learned the actions and motions of a normal person and perhaps even internalized them. You can say what you want.

“Sure are clamping a lot of hoses, huh?” she asks nervously, side-eyeing me to catch my reaction in the facial expression.

I smile wider.

“No, heat shields,” I tell her, laughing nervously and giving a conspiratorial grin.

She doesn’t laugh back. She pushes a red button on her checkout counter phone. A silent alarm. I start to sweat.

Behind me, two loss prevention officers approach. “I thought we told you Subaru boys not to come back here anymore,” says the bigger of the two.

“Not after the Plastidip incident,” the smaller one chimes in.
