I watch
as he opens the pack
demonstrates its properties
on my tarnished brass
looks up expectantly...
I nod
and smile
extract a note
and purchase
the "AMAZING"
household cleaner
for triple
the cost of
the old brass bell
bargained for
at the flea market
last month
EMM, you demonstrate the depth of human kindness in this poem and the unexpected opportunities that present each day. I suspect this purchase brought even greater pleasure to you than the original purchase. Beautifully written and I see the scene unfolding in your words. X
