Breakfast of Winter Shoppers

A waiter brings the drinks
Orders are placed
Nervously a woman crumples
A paper ring binding
Silverware
As the gray sky grows
Brighter
This is our present
Retail landscape
Where shopping centers live
In complete and utter harmony
with newly constructed sections of freeway
A marvel to be sure
when you think of those
forlorn
Third world eyes
Begging a crust of bread
1st worlders shrug it off
