General store / Recall the quiet of a shop before the malls: maybe the hum of freezers, creaking floorboards, or the flapping sound of feet upon linoleum, a muted conversation from the backroom, maybe radio. The jazz standards of payment: the stroke of till keys, the trombone of money, and the hi-hats when it shuts. A swing of door, a chime — and you are out. The sun, the pavement. @verse by MR
