The Man At A Roadside Bend-Down Shop Poem by akachukwu chukwuemeka ( akabeks)

With determination,
He examined and bargained…
The woman shop owner with excitement,
Instruct and advise the young man on the
Best material to buy.

She pointed at one, she displayed another,
Observing this encounter, eye wonder …as
Imagination turned me into the customer,

Thoughts flow on the motivation
Of buying second hand pants and bras
At a roadside bend-down shop.
Weather for a loved one or otherwise,
Eye realized what love might do,
Eye pondered what stinginess can
Also do.
