The People of Walmart

On this day I people-watch on a bench near the doors,

Seeing who is around and what they are buying.

One little old lady is scanning the shelves,

Looking for Drumsticks icecream to feed her grandchildren.

Further, a college student roams,

Looking for the dressing they will use on all foods.

In the middle a stressed out mom is buying gravy,

Herding several noisy and clumsy children.

Several highschool students go by, all without any form of grace,

As they look for snacks and drinks for their movie night.

A little boy is running his very first errand,

And is in the bakery section for the perfect pie he can buy.

All of these people are different and unique,

Each has their own stories, goals, and meals,

But there is one thing they all have in common-

And that is that Walmart is usually their first and last stop.
