POUNDLAND 2

by Marc Carver

I looked at all the one pound cds in poundland.
I recognized all the names
from bands
part famous
maybe ten years or so ago.

I could not help but think
what would they think about their music
being sold in pounland for a sum of one pound.

When i went to the till
with my one pound toothbrush.
The till lady asked me if i wanted a bag.
"No you are okay love." I said.
She put my toothbrush in a bag anyway
as if she was giving me a present,
then smiled and said.
"There you go babe."
And that smile just got bigger and bigger
until i could of fallen right into it.
