Bruce's Story
Corner in Time
three fifteen Tuesday afternoon
the wind is blowing a bit
raking hay for old man Ramsey
so dry I can’t hardly spit
stopped at P’s on old 95
only place with anything cold
got to get me an RC Cola
some gum and a pack of Old Gold
little old place where beer and sodas
are kept outside in a box
just outside the screen door in front
where the lid is held down with a rock
had himself just one old pump
sold him some gas time to time
mostly it’s beer, cold soda pop,
smokes, and a pint if you’re buy’n
place used to be a real busy stop
for farmers and laborers and such
business is gone, the road got improved
people...Expand for more
don’t stop there as much
called it Pete’s Corner for a number of years
but now it’s just called P’s Store
gas pump is gone, it’s a sign of the times
nobody buys gas anymore
but on any hot day in the valley
a cold drink will fit you just right
keep you from fading away in the heat
waiting for the cool of the night
soon P’s will close and go by the way
you can’t stop time or bad luck
I’ll miss P’s where the beer is cold
and the sodas are two for a buck
everything’s fine at this corner in time
like a screen door without any lock
sodas and beer outside in the front
where the lid is held down with a rock
