November- Shop till you drop
How black was your Friday ? Updated 11/28/25 – Left overs update
When Black Friday comes
the Consumers of Gridville
huddle in the parking lots
in predawn frozen blackness
waiting for the sensor doors
to activate and swing open
so that the ensuing stampede
into the widget warehouse
can gush cheap trinket
torrents of electronic desire
to purge themselves
of what limited imaginations
they have left and haven’t
squandered and impaled
upon product acquisition
suggestions programmed
to them by fiber optic
daily behavioral vampires
so well appointed
with glistening fangs
of fashion compulsion
obsessive consumption
in a GPS vortex
instantly alerting them
of the nowhere
they lust….
Is here
In stock
On Sale
And they simply cannot
live without it.
