I’ll take one, no wait… I’ll take FOUR! That is right; I will take four of them right now at half price. What? You want full price? I thought they were on sale! I was looking to get a deal here, what gives? Why are you flip flopping so much? First you want me to buy them on sale then when I want four of them you want to charge me full price? This makes no sense at all, not one bit at all. You’re obviously some kind of shyster trying to screw every person who walks into your shop. Ding ding sing the jingle of televised advertisements into my ears and tell me everything is perfect and not made of air.
Glowing concerns for future puppy toys with real eyes and an interchangeable brain boxed up pretty waiting for your batteries. Bark woof, howl at the moon like a dead poet wrapped up in a Christmas bow. Unwrap it and insert personality, inject functionality, make it your own and pretend you are a dragon devouring senseless towns and villages. Air mailed and made intricate stitches on all sides, slaved away from bubblegum wrappers and old paper clippings. Right out of the east from children who will never know what a penny even looks like, you paid over the manufactures suggested retail price, you cut your arm off and traded it in. Now indebted to plastic and fake fur your enjoyment is about as long as fish memory.
The hottest new thing sits in a dusty old box buried under the stairs. Long lost thoughts of enjoyment, stomach churning excitement snuffed out, too soon. Carry on without remorse as your prize possessions mold and slowly decay, more food for the landfill. Forgotten, drowned, expiration passed return date.
You’re a box full of memories buried under the stairs collecting dust and mold, one day a spark will lead you there, one day you will remember.
