the mall

what creature sprawls
across this cornfield
spoiling its yield?

what menace
lays its tentacles
over our prairie grass?

mirage dance
on asphalt
patches
baking

keep life
from seeping

sticky licorice
bubbles
burning nostrils
cough

dazzling shines
vulcan teeth
sneer

devours
society
inside

they wander
and slip

tossing their
fortunes
across
acres of
beaming
terrazzo
