A spillover of unwanted artifacts

Littered all over floor - with that
Sellers taking down brackets
Supporting shelves to track it

Volume of business negated
Only a few who have stated
They would go there again
For the darkness was a stain

So very difficult for eyes to see
Differences between the freeze
- Outside, and the one inside
For so many just did not glide

- Easily, around floors askance
Far too easy to be in a trance
Understanding there was more
Way back, beyond front doors

Too much area out in the front
Far too difficult to get lost at once
Then - there was the dual layout
Two floors going back, to scout

Full of audio, video, computers
But none who was any fine tutor
Only there to take the money
Some even thought it funny

They didn't need to help out
But were always there to spout
- Out ideas about winningness
But they were just not blessed

And now the place has closed
It was time to fold the show
For the wizard lost perspective
As customers were neglected

And the hole in the wall is back
Available to another vendor's track
We'll have to wait to see what goes
In a wall hardly anyone did know ...

- Tristram
