stopped by
a local independent pharmacy
with a name that ends in ”II”
even though
they have no store with “I”
after its name
and
fell into a time warp
i was
in an old five and dime and drug store
both rolled into one
the aspirin
and many other things
looked like
they had been there for ages
with a slight yellow tint to them
some
were the only ones
left on the shelves
time stood still
in that little store
nothing had changed
in years
it had slipped
through the cracks
and then
i looked closer
and
saw the rest
there were
tiny glass animals
titanic coloring book
wild buck notecards
men’s dress socks
magic tricks
meercat attack animal warning signs
chocolate milk
grill mitts
mermaid activity books
comfortable chairs for waiting at the pharmacy
golden books
necco wafers
animal suction cup toothbrush holders
a metal cigarette box
