Defiant: Surging Forward

Frenzied activity,
Hitting the shops once more
As the big decision-making continues,
Looking at prices once again,

Adding up the difference
Between one option and another,
Trying to make the best deal
Under the circumstances,

Scurrying dances across the tile floor,
Searching for boots,
But not finding anything
That fits!

Asking questions
About electronic devices,
Checking out the merchandise,
Opening this and unzipping that,

Thinking of buying a new knapsack
As the old ones are falling apart,
And I have to carry
Many things with me on my back,

But finally settled on
A small electronic gadget,
Until the next items come on sale,
Have to return tomorrow for another round,

Luckily the weather has held
So the long walk will be completed
In relative comfort,
Though the parcels may weigh heavily,

Do I get a cab?
Or try to drag it all home
On my own?
I’ll have to wait and see
How much I have to tote.
