Dollar Store
yesterday
when I was walking across
the dollar store parking lot
I thought I saw
a woman I knew
and
I was just about ready
to shout something at her
when I realized
she wasn’t
the woman I knew
but just another
attractive woman whom
I wish
I had known
and
so I kept on walking
toward the entrance
of the store
as the woman
climbed into her car
before driving away
James Babbs has been writing for most of his life but he still manages to learn new things. He has written hundreds of poems and a few short stories and has even had a few of them published. More recently James has been indulging in writing haiku with a certain amount of success. He still thinks about writing a novel someday but that just seems like an awful lot of words.
