evolution original poetry: “remembrances of west lafayette”, I
[What follows is a poem from a collection I am working on titled Smile Like You Mean It.]
I: The Chocolate Shop
Standing outside the Chocolate
Shop on old Chauncey Hill, staring
through the windows, I couldn’t help
but think: (Man, those people sure are
pretty. And having fun, too.) Then,
I walked home, and stared at the night.
[The Chauncey Hill Chocolate Shop. Those of you who are also K-Staters will immediately think of the Rock-a-Belly Deli on Manhattan Avenue in Aggieville.]
