Cheese
I miss cheese
Big round cheeses
encased in wax
stored under glass
at the old Endako store
Shiny plump cheeses
posing sublimely
on the counter
near the cash
register
I’ll have half-a pound
please.
Half-a pound of the
best cheese
Along the railroad line.
Trains used to stop
at Endako.
Trainmen would dash
to the old store
For a hunk-a cheese
and a pound-a bacon.
The best cheese
and the best bacon
Along the railroad line
