K-Mart, revisited….

Difficult in aware-ness,
stores following in footsteps
of previous
owners of merchandise,

they dealt in all things,
for all people

that would eventually become

K-Mart…

and its kin.

I suppose,
and
how many owners
of some such stores
would know that girlhood giggles
would revive them
and boyhood manners would build them…

over 100 years old…
in wanting just, then wanting
more,
and perhaps for a time,
good for them!

How about
those previous owners
of the general mercantile

who bartered
eggs for jars
and furs for cloth?

I go back in my mind
because I was raised
simply,
and I know
I could do without

all of them,

except for the general mercantile

if without came…

and I wonder where the teens
of today
would go,
if…

if…

K-Mart, and its competition
would disappear…

it’s possible.

I think of this
because I know how
to fix supper
from a chicken
just walking…

and I wonder if anyone younger than I
would know how…that

chickens never did need
a blue light special…

*Smiling at you*
K-Mart has gone from here Karilea...
I would much rather go to the open market place..
Excellent write hip-sis!

Oh I love it, specially these lines, they remember me of the time I took the wrong one out in the evening dark and the rooster was laughing his head of in the morning, because he had ducked himself and so I took his mom instead, thinking the 'big' one was the rooster

reinforces the fact that businesses can go belly up at anytime, too much drama in the world today.  I guess I'll have to learn how to make a chicken.

(big hugggsssssss) Yes, I too have heard about the heavy lay-offs from K-Mart going under and how Wal-Mart is buying out most of the locations! I can't stand Wal-Mart and therefore I too think I am going to make home-cooked meals when I grow up like those in pastoral lifestyles do! (sigh) This is well-said, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
