Pharmacy

26 Apr 2014 1 1 171
The grass is covered with a brittle frost, As customers line up At the clapboard house, Under the painted sign of a mortor And the club for crushing powders In the bay window display Apothecary bottles One of the old fashioned scales With its outspread pans Like the arms of a crucifix, Jars of Bromo-seltzer. Folded up wheelchairs A brested dummy’s mastectomy bra. Now the door opens with a cattail Of jingles, the vintage cash register Rings up its penny change, And inside the coughs and sneezes, The addicts slumped in their niches Trying to hoodwink the pharmacist By tapping their counterfeit canes And from isles, the fishy smell Of vitamins and ointments Where heavy feet pace The cracked wooden floor Wearing a path down to dust Looking for something “Pharmacy” ~ Judith Harris
