[bodytext] => A thought for a penny A dwelling , a sad one for more I discovered a shop that has All these to store. I found it on one of my walks A small dingy, cool place with rundown chairs It has shelves lined with dreams, mournings, Yelps of cheer, joy and love in layers. “You’ve found a friend to be with”. Uttered a man and left. “A little more than that…” I wanted to say But couldn’t. As always. I think I have come astray. I sit on a chair and look around. A woman smiling, a child wandering, I see a man kneeling down, I think he is looking for something. “looking for something ?” a voice startled “just curious.” I said. “that’s how it starts” the man said And holds out a small bottle, amber Red. “Just looking” I said. “looking is seeking” he says, the shrewd one. “Yours”. He sets the bottle down. And leaves. Like a deed is done. It’s in my pocket now, as I leave. I feel a little higher, happy to the core. Now that I have hope in a bottle I can walk a little more. I found a thought shop.
