WE’RE AT THE MALL
AND THE WIFE SAYS
WAIT HERE
I’LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE
WHICH IS GIRL TALK
FOR STAY
I RETIRE TO A BENCH
AND WAIT
IN COMPANY OF OTHER MEN
WHO DON’T LIKE SHOPPING
THE CONVERSATION CIRCLES
OVER SPORTS
WEATHER
AND SETTLES OVER WHAT’S KEEPING HER
FINALLY SHE COMES OUT
BURDENED WITH BAGS
WHICH I INHERIT
WE THEN RESUME OUR PILGRIMAGE
TO FIND THE HOLY GRAIL OF BARGAINS
HOWEVER
IF A BOOKSTORE LOOMS
OR A GADGET STORE
AND I SUGGEST I’D LIKE TO GO IN
IN FIVE MINUTES
I’VE TIMED IT
SHE’S AT MY SIDE SAYING
ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALL DAY
SO BEING THE OBEDIENT SHEEPDOG
I’VE BECOME
I PROGRESS TO THE NEXT STORE
WHERE I SIT OBEDIENTLY
FOR MY MASTER
FRANK A VOLLMER
