Not three days gone since making my decision
for Barnes and Noble's Nook HD the plus
I sit awaiting buyer gratification
now crossing country in truck train or bus,
For five and change it could have been a jet
and playing now or had delivery
same day if in Manhattan yet
still pick up at the B & N near me,
But San Francisco doesn't host a store
so layaway the frantic buy-and-fetch
impulses: anticipation from my door
to Edison New Jersey an awful stretch,
And in that interval ---- should I die
those store-wrought energies arise and sigh.
