Boulevards lined with pretty shops,
Up and down the pedestrians stroll
Yet every now and then one darts
Into a shop whose window is
Not unattractive, an attention
Getter...
The person then emerges,
Returns to the thoroughfare
In continued dedication to
Not going anywhere special, not
Knowing what next store,
Even next moment, will
Take their fancy. Afterwards,
Show and Tell is what it is all about.
John B. Moss, 18 April 2003
Bio -- Why do we shop? The need for the item? Or the need to talk about it? Or the need to empty our pockets? Our shelves
and our garages testify to our urges and past passions.
