Your Local Grocery Store
so much to offer
and always around the corner
giving and giving
he lays out everything
on shelves
for you to see
some take without giving
anything back
saying to themselves
that they take only
what he doesn't need
most, though
gather their things
take them to the counter
and offer empty
slips of paper
he takes them
without complaint
knowing that
they don't have
anything else to give
people think of him
when they need something
and he's always so happy
to oblige
always giving and giving
so much to offer
just around the corner
dedicated to Evan, known as the poet, Your Local Grocery Store. may he get better customers.
