A labyrinth of delight
filled with exotic chattels
condiments of joy--
ceramics, clothes, handicrafts,
soaps, perfumes, tropical plants,
the nations of the world
happily perfecting ars bargainica
what a wonder a market place could be
a gathering of happy souls
some buying, some selling
a joi de vivre.
