2001/retail

When I worked retail
there was always
a pattern
to what people wore.
One day it would be pink,
another green.
There was always
a tendency
in mood as well.
I still see it,
days when everywhere
I go people are
riled.
Or everything breaks.
It seems to confirm
astrology –
certainly more
than the newspaper
predictions of travel,
which usually mean
I’ll go to the
store.
