Haberdasher's Thoughts

Haberdasher’s Thoughts


The haberdasher has
that season of the year
he rids his racks, his bins
of oddments.
I have no season of the year
like that. 
Today, or any day, a derby, 
spats or chrome-tipped cane
can shuffle out from stock.
I have no choice. 
I have to offer counter space.
