Mall Date
A poem

I pitched to my date
that we go to the mall
it may be empty but
they've got it all from
Sephora to Spencers
Auntie Anne's Pretzels
to Barnes and Noble
the lobby has a court
of roses that has not
been watered in months
and that is just the start
of the fun
look to your right and
you will find three people
in line at Cinnabon
look to your left and you
will hear FYE playing
radioactive by imagine dragons
it just so happens the
bathroom is closed for repair
but if we go up the stairs
we can go into Claire's
get our ears pierced so
we can use their facility
you drank a liter of Fiji
and really need to pee
it says employees only
but they are hiring and
we are more than qualified
to apply and take them by surprise
nevermind
we are overqualified
lets head to Hot Topic
and consider their buy
one get one 50% off deal
while we figure out what
meal to eat
the food court is 94% closed
but thankfully they still got a
Sbarro - we can share a pie
and transfer the grease from
our hands to a poorly made napkin
all of this could happen
if we go on a date to the mall
it closes at 7 PM and the drive
is not that bad at all
let me know

"the food court is 94% closed" is everything. you've captured the mall in 2026 so well
