How many of us would it
take to move the Wal-mart? Not the sort of move by petition, court or protest but to push it like a shopping cart. Just a few inches, maybe a foot to start? How many around the giant box digging fingers to foundation? A million muscles tighten like wound springs until the concrete block sings and whines. Until the things inside quake and rock. Stock topples. Indentured slave-made shoes lay with soles to heaven. Sweat shop shirts fall into tired heaps. Fish sticks leap from the freezer case in a spray of frost. Bags of chips are lost, smashed like greasy dominoes. We inhale dust and grunt. The building jerks. Weight shifts. We lift left inch by inch and let it drop about a foot from where it was found. Sirens sound in the distance. The sign falls apart. Now it reads “al- art.” We know it will be back. We know. But for now this is profit’s mausoleum. For now, this is our museum. |

Eh, it's only fun to go in and screw with people. I don't care for that store either. BUT, always a good laugh to be had in there. By the way I saw your profile but cant messege you seeing as how I'm not over 25... Anyways, I wanted to suggest a book. Deff worth the read.. It's called the Celestine Prophecy.. What you said in your profile led me to believe you'd enjoy it. |
