The shaven sheep of retail leisure

Hugging the escalator
semi smile trained on the way
legs crossed
head turning

Taking in the lights
a restless animal
a consumer
searching for it´s herd

Nothing more than a small purse
a credit card
some vague desire
to wake themselves up inside a purchase

the exhibits and showrooms
find their way
to your little cravings
squeezing that precious box

where you keep your dopamine

A rush to get that last item
a lucky individual
The status of a customer
self esteem discount

Each shop calling you
By a cheap nickname
a fast world invented
a world that didn´t have time to see you

despite the billion fat cameras

A road to buying something
to tickle an identity
To pretend to eat in a foodcourt
to hold those paper bags

Fresh with reciepts
Installments for a few months to come
into the wheel
a well dressed hamster

A game inside a game
you are no volunteer
but pretend so we can approve the insurance
sell a piece of the herd

some of your hyde
a percentage of the estimated value
your attempt at a smile
your screen glued eyes

Your fanatic banter
predictable ramble
for some feed
idealogical profit

slipping through your fingers
a human program on the escalator
reaching for a brand
that might tell you who you are
