POSTER SHOP

At the bottom of the arcade in our town 
there is a small poster shop. 
It has been there years, never changing 
always the same wooden front and flaky paint. 
Step inside and enter a different world. 

Look at the images on the walls. 
Pictures of soaring birds, of dreamy fantasy prints, 
of a plane against the sunset glowing red…

Hundreds of posters all on the walls 
and tightly rolled in tubes just waiting 
for someone to buy one. 

I went in and bought one of a cold 
snowy landscape of sometime long ago. 
When you go in, what will you buy?
