Today, I saved a wolf,
from buying chocolate
with nuts and cranberries,
Happy wolf, smile,
smile and howl.
I got tea, at Teazers,
and conversed
with an old good friend,
and smiled, laughed,
and shared.
Next stop, Valentino's,
with Hedwig posters
and a leopard print chairs,
well, one chair,
but a leopard print chair.
Afterwords, a garden,
a “hippie” garden
but a hippie garden with hats,
instruments, books,
and candles.
I wanted one, a candle,
but I couldn't decide
so Julie suggested cheap stores,
cheap yes, but dull?
Not at all.
I got a toy, a harmonica,
stickered with Winnie The Poo
though it doesn't work that well,
but also, a coke,
and a candle.
I won't bother you with a pesky explanation of how I got stuck in traffic,
so cutting to the chase,
I got home and lit a candle and thought,
“So finally, we meet,
sweet scented flame
oh how I missed your warmth,
your comfort, even,
your light.”
