Half-Price Books Half Price Sale
I buy libraries and give them away
Today I range the shelves seeking printed wisdom
but i stop at "LEAD WITH A LAUGH!(Liz Carpenter
She still resonates with her penchant for poets and wit
and we are all less for the loss of it.
I restart the search for living wisdom between those gone
Stop again when Molly Ivins smiles from a cover
She and Ann Richards two brave public Texas women
whose singularities redefined the possibilities for half of Texas
I leave.I ask only that you love
so we might read your life force while you are here with us
not have to wait for epitaphs and memorial services...
and posthumous books to celebrate all you loved
GOLD CREATIONS
Gold rises in value like fear
Sign on the door warns-
TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT ONCE
THEN AGAIN TO MAKE SURE
(thieves cannot read-so bars fence in Gold Creations..
For some reason,my beloved breaks jewelry
and gets her ankle bracelets repaired continually
in exchange for fresh baked bread
Sign on South Lamar door yesterday hand written-
MEDICAL EMERGENCY!.CLOSED till Wednesday morning
Return today-still closed.Gold for bread
Give me bread any day!
True as on March 24,2010
