The floors are always too clean So many feet and not a scuff anywhere And it's too hot From the crowds and the heat Still cranked up in summer
All the store displays look the same Ridiculously dressed mannequins and A bunch of prepubecents Cluttering around the entrance Or worse Pubescents spending their parent's money To look like the mannequins
There is nothing of value on any Of the three floors Yet it's all marked up at a premium
I am no different My eyes jump from window to window Face to face My mind working over time to take it all in In my confusion maybe I'll start Handing out my credit card "Give me three of those" "Six of these" "As much of this as I can afford and then some" "Thank you, thank you, thank you"
We can all go home mannequins Faceless and frozen We won't scuff the floors Or crowd the stores Just remain on display A cheap plastic statue
