Richard Fein had this to say about his poem:
"The checkout girl in the poem is real. She's someone I flirted with
a long time ago.
Part of the writing process is storing disparate images
in your brain and combining them in interesting ways. This poem is a synthesis of
various experiences. The Elvis and UFO articles are also real, but were
not simultaneous with my meeting with the girl."
