Plastic stuff for the bathroom and kitchen
Locks, light bulbs, sink plungers
Charity shops, with new lick of yellow paint
Fancy antique dresses, over-priced
Egg shop with giant stuffed chicken
Fish shop and truckloads of ice- fresh?
Chinese supermarket selling unfamiliar items
The pub- not quite as busy as it once was
A multitude of market stalls
Selling everything you can think of
The focal point is the centre square
Tables and floor covered with a plethora of discarded goods
Many people trawling through the worn-out objects
Which they are sure can work again
Nothing appears to be unwanted or of no value
Back to the shops past the café with orange chairs
Halal meat shops with a selection of dead carcasses
Grocery shop with ubiquitous plastic bowls containing fruit
African dresses for a flattering figure
Redeemed Church of God between the shops
Local supermarket for basic foods and some magazines
Brooms, buckets, brushes and baths
Baby stuff- shoes for feet that can’t yet walk
Bible bookshop stacked with self-help books
Colour and excitement- music giving the atmosphere gaiety
Every human passing by, unique, extending friendships
Those alive and vibrant the best on the street.
