Borders

I remember still
That book store back then;
The bright corner seats

~~~~~~~~~


Rows and rows of books
So much picks to browse;
Volumes of goodies

~~~~~~~~~


That Wheelock Place site
Where book lovers breezed;
Easy days to date

~~~~~~~~~


Now something else trades
Much ado about buzz;
Once where Borders stood

~~~~~~~~~


High city rentals
Make book sellers weep;
Browse more for quick peeks

~~~~~~~~~


So many stores are gone
Time never turns back;
Keep momentum up

~~~~~~~~~


Memory fills slots
Lots of good times gone;
Never to return

~~~~~~~~~
