Dime Bags


Gordon met Wonder at the bus stop, the one just down from the Still Eagle.
She was new in town and looking for a place to stay,
Gordon obliged.
They would hang out in the cold one room apartment
watching fall disappear into winter.
Baker, two stories below offered constant stimulation.
Wonder sold dime bags for Rollo,
a dealer she knew from Van, who had set shop in Nelson.
Selling dime bags was quick change
that complimented Gordon's unemployment checks
which came every two weeks like clock work.
