doldrums

By WhoIAM

the parking lots are filled to capacity

and everyone is walking down the aisles
in trances

anxious to consume.

impulse buys gleam
generic music
advertisments show off

automatic doors.
greeters.
florescent lighting.

people are queued at the registers
(...beep

..beep

.....beep)
overflowing carts.

everyone came for one thing.
