Mom 'n' Pop

One of those mom 'n' pop stores,
empty;
shut down by another online store.
Who needs brick and mortar,
when you've got pixels and gigabytes?

Its parking lot used
only to store dilapidated autos,
forgotten,
favored for a new hybrid,
or electric car.
Who needs gas,
there's a war!

The windows are busted in,
vacancy leaving no repair man.
Local teens and wanna-be anarchists
have vandalized the walls,
mere obscenities, vulgarity.

Animals have overrun the place,
leaving behind traces of fur,
and trails of feces.
