Doorbuster

Black Friday every Friday to Christmas--so the advertisement reads. Decorations for Christmas were rolled out in the big box stores in early SEPTEMBER and now abound in even the botiques. The hype around the holidays is out of control.

Doorbuster Sale
This weekend only!

Counting down the seconds
Anxious for
the ball to drop,
the shoe to drop.

Sprinkling coins in the temple
In the frontal lobe.
Lobbed into memory:
"Foist the sales"

Eagerly anticipating
Earnestly needing

Well up
Thunderhead
Sprinkling,
raining
down on me
drops
hail
hell.

Sales.
