The Purchase

THE PURCHASE
by Maria Mize                    February 20, 2005

Spent the day looking,
         comparing models, size and price.
Visiting four stores,
         and some more than twice.

Let’s socialize.
No.  Let’s just get it
         and go.

The decision:
         calculations, style vs. style,
         checking, then rechecking.
Can’t we just get it and go?

Finally --- three lies
         and we’re out the door ----
TV in tow.
