the girl at the shopping complex


The girl waiting at the steel barrier
At the shopping complex in the late afternoon
She put down her shopping bag eyes on her smart phone
Fingers do the talking as she scans her news

She doesn't look up at the crowd passing by
She has no time even to look around
She stays on her smart phone
Busy scanning her messages

The rain has stopped
Maybe she is waiting for somebody
The girl at the shopping complex
Too busy even to watch the crowd

Without her smart phone
What she will do these days?
Maybe she will walk around
Poking her face at the window panes
