The Shop That Isn’t There
The shop that isn’t there could be
a store of possibility
where I might purchase flowing hair,
the perfect petit derrière,
a straighter nose, unwrinkled skin,
long life to foil my next of kin,
a broader bust and thinner waist,
revival of my sense of taste,
my libido, my memory,
my pleasure in tomfoolery.
And, while I’m browsing, I might find
a pill to modify my mind
so it could let me travel where
there is a shop that isn’t there.
Jayne - on sending the poem in by email, I got this reply:
I am out of the office until Tuesday 27th September. I will respond to your email when I'm back.
Best wishes,
Hannah
Since the contest ends on the 20th, I'm wondering if they will receive the poem. Is there another email or do you suggest sending by Fax instead?
