The MALL OF AMERICA

The Mall Of America

The nation's biggest panic attack,

waiting to happen.

Crowds. Crowds. Crowds.

It's Saturday at the Mall Of America.

Tens upon thousands show their faces -

buying their clothes

bringing – (sometimes beating) – their children

spending their money in this miniature ecosystem of mass chaos,

maybe not even controlled.

10% off means 10 thousand customers.

20% off means 20 thousand customers.

“Buy one, get one free”... the people swarm.

A sale is a sale,

and as I lay trampled by the feet of the crowd,

a stampede of humanity...

oh, the greed of humanity...
