Cafe dark and finally closed
Thin barista memories
Lines of book vultures picking @shelves
going to a funeral to buy the coffin
Seek SPIRIT section(Rumi,Hafiz)
yet their $16 will not free them
20% off Girl and Hornets Nest
Janet Evanovich,Dick Francis,Tony Hillerman
Liquidators will be here soon-
this literate Saturday night special crowd
lines up with purchases to the doomed staff
Underneath this engine economy
people strive for service(it does not matter
Budgets slash jobs/crash household income
We rescue orphaned book titles-
thence to SPROUTS where Henrys
have just bought them out.Underneath all economies
people are wanting to serve-all they need
are more opportunities(not to be offshored
nor liquidated...Houston BORDERS survive
Everything selective these budget daze
Everyone still waiting to be saved
