GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Am I a stuffed animal?

She started with a lemonade stand.
It grew into a juice bar by the front door.

The main counter is a plastic bin elevated on paper rolls.
The cups are toilet paper rolls with taped bottoms.

The juices are math cubes of many colors.
Strawberry, lemonade, blackberry….

$1 each.
She trades shifts with her brother.

Their small chairs and stools fill the foyer.
Music from my ipad, Vince Gualardi and Bola Sete.

I sip on juice with the dolls.
It’s been a minute.
