this train I’m on
is passing through
a town and place
I thought I knew
yet as it slows
before it stops
I've seen a road
and set of shops
that since I left
have until now
remained the same
but changed somehow.
My latest piece is too long the poem section - so it's in "Short Stories."
It's called "discoveries"
I could shorten it - but why? *shrug*

I hope you like it!
The tourist shops have lots of stuff
Nobody really needs,
But that's an observation that
Nobody really heeds.
For people on vacation spend
Much more when they're away
On items that, if seen at home,
Within the store would stay.
Though really, isn't that the point
Of traveling afar -
Detaching from routines to be
The way you think you are?
A row of shops left abandoned
People fled to towns
Wooden planks left out of place
Slits and holes penetrated through
Small ferns growing wild
Deep inside hollow and dark
A home shifted
A broken shop remained
Everything has fell asleep
Except the glory of the past
The history of the past
The bustling life of the past
And the mourning of the passersby
The sixth graders were the next to shop.
They were a small but mighty group.
They left more loudly than they arrived.
It was great to see them!
So many said thank you.
It was marvelous to be given the gift of their manners.
They are gone now; the auditorium is silent.
Feeling sad, wishing her seats were filled.
Aha! We hear children in the hallway
Heading this way.
I watch the auditorium light up
