The Clothes Show

I find myself standing among crowds
of average women in average clothes leading
normal lives.
And each has a pocket of cash and a free magazine
passed to them, us, as we entered.

We push and fight our way to clothes and try them on
then remember we have thighs.
And we stand in awe of the absensce of men
and wonder why we spend
so much time outside our lives.

 

Nice, subtle commentary on society.
The last stanza left me dumbfounded.

 

thanks

 

Sometimes I think being female is like belonging to a cult. You've captured that cleverly here.
