It is the year 2008.

Shelves are decked, the classic reads

mongols and eraser tops

gold and silver coloured sharpies

some lined pad paper on sale.

But you come for a different sight,

a good ol' once upon a dream

the one placed neatly in the center

of the table in aisle number 07

a sealed box of sixty-four

and a sharpener

with these magic words:

sold out.
