“The staff is always super helpful.Thats all i got. So heres a poem i found about hardware stores. Where have all the hardware stores gone -- dusty, sixty-watt warrens with the wood floors, cracked linoleum,poured concrete painted blood red? Where are Eppes, Terry Rossa Yon's, Flint -- low buildings on South Monroe,Eight Avenue, Gaines Street with their scent of paint thinner, pesticides, plastic hoses coiled like serpentsin a garden paradisal with screws in buckets or bins against a brick wall with hand-lettered signsin ball-point pen -- Carriage screws, two dozen for fifty cents -- long vicious dry-wall screws, thick wood screwslike peasants digging potatoes in fields, thin elegant trim screws-- New York dames at a backwoods hickSunday School picnic. O universal clevis pins, seven holes in the shank, like the seven deadly sins......Barbara Hamby”
