(165) Black Friday
It’s coal outside surrounding can.
My hands stretch like dried pleatherette
In the early winter morning.
Suddenly, the store doors swing wide
Open my wallet stack with tens
Different credit cards waiting hen
To bill stockings, make the purchase
Because an hour spent searching
For parking justify excess.
Access to curated shopping
Bag a thing of the past. New hype?
Found online, recent trendsetters
Seen in tv commercials,
Source on availability.
50% off – not enough
Tough Black Friday! Blue Saturday?
Additional 20%
Plus 10% using store card!
Now have boots in different colors.
Scarves for winter threw summer spores.
