Benny’s Home Stores Closing

by Craig Sipe

All of the Benny’s,
some 31 Home Stores
in three states,
closed at the end of last year.

And with them went
715 red-vested souls who knew
Where     Stuff     Was.

And while my humble mouse
can click and scratch
its virtual way through
a cyber hardware box,

When an actual
Finger points
to the actual widget
I need to carry on,

Well . . . that is
Sistine Retail
in my chapter and verse . . .

Trans-substantial deliverance,
to the checkout lane
with the perfect
bag of screws.
