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.
