ALMANAC OF DOLLAR STORES

i love those not beloved of others-offshoots,outcasts,loners
We all pilgrimage towards GARAGE SALES,Clearance Sales,bargains
So it is @Half Price Books and Dollar Stores/where all stock is seasonal
an archaeology MADE IN CHINA,all plastic and perfect
where nothing over a dollar is ever contemplated.I can live with(in this
Boomerangs,Hawaiian luaus,cat statues,food items not found in grocery stores-
all these and more tantalize and delight my senses,and i always leave
with more than i bargained for.Same with Opportunity Stores-
although they have become more privitized with high prices
even when all they have is donated freely for charity purposes.
I wish GOODWILL was worthy of its name.Same with St VINCENT De PAUL!
All one can do in this shopping world is to be a bottom feeder-
to exist beneath the profit margins,to live in a second-hand world
so every thing has both a story and a past life
and everyone you meet -the same!
