it was a sign of the End Times
when the Dillards department store
which dressed affluent women and men
was closed justlikethat
and reborn as a gigantic arcade
POSTSCRIPT: The above poem refers to Sikes Senter shopping mall in Wichita Falls, TX. It was built in 1966, then sat empty until October of 1974. What remains (including a Boot Barn, a Hot Topic, a Books-a-Million and an AMC multiplex) will celebrate its 50th anniversary next month.
