I went to lunch with her
we sat in the skyway on a bench
eating our salads she said this is where
two girls opened a knitting shop they called
themselves sisters but they
weren’t sisters at all they lived together
in Galtier and they loved
each other and did well and had
knitting classes and crocheting but
then one sister started selling beads and
then jewelry and they expanded but rent is
high in the skyway
and people got tired of
beading or jewelry or whatever and so they
went back to knitting but people got tired
of that and they tried sewing machines
but it was too late I guess
and they fought we could hear
them all the way to the bank and we only
saw the one sister or the other
and then none and then a
new sister came in and we never saw
the other sister
but the new sister never smiled
and they closed down they couldn’t sell
anything anymore
beads or hoop earrings
the two who loved the most lost each other
and their store is empty
she leaned her head on my
shoulder don’t you think she said
that’s the most romantic thing you ever heard
