- We Entered, the tiny bell, Bringing a saleslady. Down a narrow aisle of goods, turned to the candies, Tiered like bleachers, And asked what she wanted --—, Light in her eyes, a smileStarting at the corners, Of her mouth. I fingered a nickel in my pocket, and when she lifted a chocolate. That cost a dime,I didn't say anything. I took the nickel from my pocket, then an orange, and set them quietly onThe counter. When I looked up, the lady's eyes met mine, and held them, knowing very well what it was allabout.
- Outside,A few cars hissing past,Fog hanging like oldCoats between the trees.I took my girl's handIn mine for two blocks,
- The released it to letHer unwrap the chocolate.I peeled my orangeThat was so bright againstThe gray of DecemberThat, from some distance,Someone might have thoughtI was making fire in my hands.
- THE END!!!!
- Thank You For Reading!!!
