Thrift Shop Globe-Trotting
Thrift Shop Globe-Trotting
by Kevin Ridgeway
Infinite cities in between
used laundered clothes
a fugitive from my mother
colliding into other
miniature road warriors
of many
backgrounds and
nationalities
in the depths of the
hanging racks
fighting over
territories in
between skid-marked
underpants and
flowered dresses
I was deported
at the border of
Men’s Summer Wear
and stacks of
twenty-five
cent paperback
continents, the
scattered sea of
doorknobs and
mutilated baby
dolls drowning me
in discarded
reality.
Excellent comprehensive metaphor for this diverse kind of shopping experience. Way to go!
