They closed the Friendly’s down the street from me
Just quietly shut and barred the doors
Boarded the windows
and I never even realized
Another childhood remnant - Gone
Memories of rainbow sorbet sundaes
with Mom-mom on Sunday afternoons
Late-night snacks with high school pals
Now, another empty building
decays on the side of the road
Another victim of circumstance
just like all the others
Painted-over signs
Empty lots in the middle of the day
How long will it remain this way
until something new moves in
Or maybe it stays shut forever
like so many others forgotten by Time
and Change
The ever-shifting whims
of humanity
