he muttered The Mall

mariachis jumped himthey remembered his dream

                                                       I don think you can call it a mall

Last time you were in one was in Phoenix walking your father-in-law as his physician recommendedkept him company

                      Ya remember when that was

After my wife died  If I had to fix a year  2004

Twenty years ago

Easily

A legacy mall

Perhaps

          I don think theyre trying to compete with amusement parks that have inundated the country

Spend a cool grand or better on the family for a weekend when they could have entertained themselves playing board games making puzzles go on a local hike a Sunday ride a picnic

I imagine they put the weekend amusement parks on creditcards 

                                                                       Consumers owe more than eighteen trillion

National debt more than thirtyseven trillionChrist

    Their decision

Our decision to fly in from across the globe more than eight hundred top echelon military leaders to listen to hourslong braying of an inept Secretary of Defense and the lying sexual abuser thirtyfour-count felonNo

Theyre tryin to make ends make while cut-off at the knees

                                                               Wealthiest country in the world my ass Assortment of the wealthiest people in the world living in this country

Felons big beautiful bill  Like the last  Trickledown

                                                        It aint money  Its piss   Piss on peons

POP goes the weasel

 

    Weve spun off base

We have Think Ive stole second and third on you

Possibly

Ill call it a mall

                 Concede

We can

          You walked against the current towards the darkness where people were leaving  Some expressions indicated  escaping

Id agree  Most were escaping

                                 Felt like I was     I was  oddly    spawning

Had half a mind to keep a sharp eye out for hungry bears behind the occasional kiosks fashioned to brook customer flow

                Strategically  methinks

Yet you continued walking alone  into the dimming light

Ja

      Felt Id been there before knew the lay of the land  It wasnt foreign to me

When I found myself in the darkest recesses I discovered there were no entries  Not wha I remembered

    Where did the people come from

Ive no idea

              The furthur I entered the dark the fewer to none there were

None in the deepest recesses

Were they people

I don know  They werent my concern

                                            Bizarrely

The pitch black did not confuse me

 

Another labyrinth

    Ja
