Aisle 5
She’s got a nickel
scratching, scratching
scratching away
with her daddy’s
Lucky Buffalo—
a circle of silver
steady beating
in her scratchin’ hand
Bottom lip flapping
above her upper lip,
I find myself cheering
for the gambling woman
I see down Aisle 5
I have so many carts
ready to be filled here—
for our new life
Oh, I’ll be moving shortly after
she buys Isle 5
-Z
Love the cadence and the urgency of this one; the readiness and rough hewn feeling of it
