    • Outstanding piece of writing Pinkdreams. I never walked into a Publix, since there not located in the NY tri-state area. Your memories and description of this store is unbelievable. The poem was done so well that as I began reading it, I knew and felt we were in the early to mid 70’s. The photo is also an extra bonus. As we get older, certain places and landmarks disappear. Our memories may fade a bit as well. At the same time, a certain item or smell may bring us back and reboot memories that were stuck somewhere in our brains decades ago. Nice work.

    • VoI- Thank you so much for understanding, and for the nice praise. It means a lot to me.

      • I enjoy poems or stories from people that can tap into their memories and write a compelling, nostalgic piece for that moment in time. You totally succeeded here.

    • So good to hear from you. I think you did offer condolences back then, so thank you then and now.

      Why did I think you lived in Texas? I’m so envious of those experiencing Fall and cold weather. 91 this afternoon in Phoenix. Stupid.

    • Years of service and what do you have to show for it if that take it all away.

      • Yes. I don’t think the system rewards people for working hard all their lives. We used to have a pension system and a retirement plan. Now you either work till you die, or retire into bankrupcy.
        thanks for reading

    • Superb work, my friend.

      • Thanks for reading. Sixteen tons by Tennesse Ford comes to mind.
        Thanks for your words of strength.
        Regards

    • Thanks. I agree I have seen what hard work did to a man. He finally retired and then his illnesses began to destroy him fast. Sorry to get morbid. Thanks for reading
      Regards James

    • What is the world coming to eh’ .. don’t let on, sometimes ignorance is bliss and anyway, I have yet to complete stocking the bunker 😎👍

      • I am waiting for the aliens to come and see what a mess the rulers of this world have done with life.
