A lemmings Christmas

By BetaWolfinVA

Lemmings rush in
and dance around searching
for the perfect sound
toy or other gimmic
-
hoping to buy affection
they should have already
or cement the perfect
one they have
-
desperation shading actions
fear of the other
lemmings hunting too
for same things
-
circling like vultures
over the parking lot,
plunge for a space that
taken before reached

can you say online shopping?
