Sitting on a rotating display
That, for the moment, stands quiescent.
I share the display with three manikins
Dressed for fall.
Warm materials
Draped over plastic creatures
Suggest you too can embody
A life of comfort.
If it's a fraud there is no innocence,
And the need to play is serious.
Who would choose estrangement,
Looking through a cool glass partition at success?
Someone gets killed on the subway...
Over his IPod, or his cool Nikes.
I get little attention from the shoppers.
I might be mistaken for the "before" portion of the display.
If not for my IPad I'd be asked to leave.
Do I resemble the successful businessman
Who said wearing sandals in a chauffeured limo
Represented wealth & understanding?
