Stalls displayed forgiveness
Bartered for listening
Currencies minted from trust
Change returned as time
Merchants weighed stories
Tared the scales for shame
Receipts issued in hugs
Taxes paid by planting
Customers arrived guarded
Left with open pockets
Profit recorded in sleep
Debts erased by dawn
A bell rang without closing
Evening kept the lights
Business of being together
Ledger free future rich
