Mall Memoirs

This is a poem from public dialogue.

By Mary BensonPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

I’ve been

In a canning frenzy.

We cant just live off yogurt,

‘cuz that’s got a date.

That just doesn’t work.

We came from there.

Oh yeah this way!

Which way

Do we go?

That doesn’t have a map!

We didn’t come in this way,

… or no?

Grant,

You need to get back

In your chair now, please.

Stay there please.

Okay get up now.

Hi lady’s welcome!

Come in and join the party!

They’re all so pretty!

You should

Have gone up to her.

Oh, that wasn’t a spirit…

Ooh a giant skull!

The only reason

I have self-control

Is because I’m poor!
