Once upon a time,we would FRYS and BEST BUY
(when they said BUY!-we bought!-up before dawn
joining a long line outside big box franchise stores
in trust for elusive early bird bargains.It was a lark!
We would laugh in the cold and the rain
and we would sometimes be given doughnuts and coffee..
Now Dragon says PURCHASE! and we demur
we do not want a HD 3D TV,nor a Blu-Ray DVD
our needs are meek.We want stories ,poems,joy!
WALMART opened @10pm last night,and a fight broke out
A woman saw an empty shopping basket,so she placed her baby in it
GET YOUR BABY OUT OF MY BASKET! came the voice of Angry Shopper
At midnight,the police had to break up a fight.What is worth such anger?
Objects of Mammon stacked for anonymous hands?
We settled for STAPLES and HALF PRICE
rich in poetry books and CDRs for poetry shows
Laughing in the dawn as Black Friday turns to Shopping Saturday
and every body forgets what fools they were for Toys r Us last night!
