“Needed a new office chair. Zack was terrific. Helped us pick out the perfect one and saved us money. I wanted it put together and was told it would be ready within 24 hours. But he got right on it and we picked it up 30 minutes later and didn't have to come back the next day. He loaded it up also. Couldn't ask for better service. Such an asset!”

“A Thursday scorched beneath the noonday blaze,
Nineties heat pressed heavy on my skin,
With Wu-Tang’s “Triumph” threading through my ears,
I journeyed to the shrine of staples, tape, and ink—
Office Depot 513, the portal framed
(Bloomington? Normal? Where does one start and end)
By whispered sighs of dwindling staff and time,
Where fleeting ghosts of real pencils emerge—
An echo from the cobbled past, 1900s breath.

My hand secured a mouse, sleek and new,
And braved the fancy folly: paper tape,
A curious relic in this wired age.
Yet nothing prepared me for that glance—
Her hair a rainbow strap of quiet fire,
A demeanor caught between worlds digital and real—
“Are you MS’s wife?” I asked, heart alight, but unsure.
“Yes, and you—Matthew, the forgotten friend,” she smiled,
A spark igniting in the paper aisle’s glow,
Half a minute’s magic amid printing sheets,
Time folded briefly in the hum of clerks and heat.

Outside, the “chicken triangle” waits,
A fast-food landmark, two miles from home,
While summer air simmers with relentless grace.
Office Depot, you fail and yet you hold us,
A testament to trying, to striving still—
Not OfficeMax, not Staples, but you,
With all your weary, human flaws and charm.

And as the clock beats toward evening’s promise,
I wonder—will cauliflower meet its fate for din din,
Air fried, supreme, beneath the cooling dusk?
What a world we live in—strange, steaming, and bright,
Where magic hides in aisles of gray and light.”
