The Millenial

We are an old,
Abandoned shopping mall

Where there used to be
A GameStop,
And a Claire’s,
And an Auntie Anne’s,
And a Spencer’s Gifts,
And a Hot Topic,
And a Walden Books.

We are a mostly-empty building
With an Army recruitment office
And a Ross Dress for Less.

In a dim, forgotten corner,
Past the bathrooms
And janitor’s closet,
A light flickers on.
