Couch Mall

A satirical piece on modern technology, shopping and the demise of the mall.

I pointed and clicked a 'Mickey' mouse with an aching, carpal tunnel wrist on Amazon.

I touched my smartphone, that was brighter than I, with a bony, crooked, arthritic finger on Ebay.

I paid with Pieces of Eight from my wallet on PayPal.

Stuff showed up at my doorstep.

I was famished and reached over to the coffee table food court.

Dylan's The Times They Are A-Changin' was playing through my earbuds.

I needed to relax, so I called up a movie on the phone.

This all took place in a Purple Haze.

... 'Whew', I'm exhausted and long for the good ol' days ...
