“To the Woman in Window 8 at the DMV” and “Clams”
I’m sorry I didn’t have what you called the original copy of my birth certificate. I did bring my / official infant footprints. They’re nothing like my feet now, but it did say Certificate of Birth. / Yes, it was a Xerox. / Tell me, how can an original be a copy? / Maybe you had a disappointing lunch. Couldn’t find a parking spot. Don’t even drive. I don’t / drive. You could see that from my expired learner’s permit. I was only asking for a REAL ID.
