things, things,
on the shelves
things, things,
made by elves
at the back of the line
I stare at my phone
and wonder
what I did on line
before Facebook
chatter and scurrying
dehydrated mice
in a maze searching
for water
the newest thing prevails
on the way home, a newer
version is advertised
in your email
while you wonder about
the next thing
a person in your city
sits, shoe-less,
begs for any
thing
