Incident Along Fantasy Way 0145 hr 7/28/74
                        Discount Planets

"DISCOUNT PLANETS" says the sign that caught my eye
And I stand in front of the place, torn by indecision.
On the one hand I am terribly late to somewhere or other
And if I linger I will be later still.
But stores, like everything and everybody else along 
     and about this street, 
Are compelled always to wander
So there may be no such thing as
"I'll come back later."
