another shot

her room is full
of bags.
new crisp bags
with handles.
bags from
macy's and nordstroms,
neiman marcus
and stores
you've never
heard of.
you ask her
if she had fun,
did she find anything
new and nice
that she loves.
no, she says,
taking off her shoes.
I couldn't find
anything,
maybe we could
go back later. it
was too crowded
to do any serious
shopping. i'm
not happy
with my purchases.
I need another shot.
