consumers

by joel abel - Taurus

consumers

people rushing
down sidewalks
eyes staring past each other
into windows filled with
bright lights
and endless sales 
our own rflections
in swirling plate glass
mirrors
our eyes and hands 
flipping through
catalogs and price tags
hearts pumping
against its 
cage
until
finally,

buzzing florescent
lights leading us on
bumping our noses
aginst well lit
window displays
we find ourselves
waiting,

for sales to begin
for products to consume us.
