Back Again

Back Again

the plane

flew low

in this

small town

I know

where the

mall

was small

when i was

and they called it

Village

for years

and years

and years

then somebody

had a bright idea

to call it

Colonial …

and I forget the rest

but it never

took

so they changed it

back to

Village

but it didn’t stick

so they came up with …

Auburn

as in the university

and now

it’s big and bright

catalog stripes

but still

no books

like it used to be

across from toys

next to Sears

gone is Sears

got the toys back

and took the Dollar out

but left the books

to Millions and Hastings

maybe they jest

haven’t gotten around

to restoring

lost and found

in The Village
