Nice Catch, by Alicia Wright

 Nice Catch

The shopper stalks her prey in the retail jungle.
She eyes an evergreen cashmere sweater
from across the room.
The flourescent lights bare down,
causing her to sweat;just barely.
She makes a half circle,rearing back
And taking long strides towards her catch.
Arms upward,reaching outward for the
stretch towards the hopeful gain.
Clutching the warm,soft and fuzzy sweater closely
with both hands.
The hunt is over.
Until,just out of the corner of her eye,the shopper
spots a plaid wool skirt.
For a true shopper,the hunt for fashion is neverending.
