Ozymandias ‘N’
Things
I met a UPS driver from an antique land
Who said – “Down the road two shopping malls
Decay along the road, on either hand
Broken doors lead into empty, echoing halls
The blown-out signs are ghostly anymore
Their electric lights are dead; the letters decay
Around the logo of each long-dead store
And in their emptiness they seem to say:
Look upon my works, ye mighty –
Sears, Radio Shack, Montgomery Ward, Mr. Pickwick,
Circuit City, Bonwit Teller, Gimbel’s, Brooks Brothers, Woolworth’s, Marshall
Field’s, Kresge’s, Blockbuster, Border’s, CompUSA, Sharper Image, Tower
Records, Toys R Us, B. Dalton, Levitz, Waldenbooks, Thom McAn, Linens N Things,
KB toys, Mervyn’s, Lord & Taylor, Joske’s
- and despair”
