You’re trying to seduce me
with your bright lights
and shiny floors
your promises
of an abundance
of ingredients
for my happy
forever-mores.
But leave the children be
like that little girl
holding Mother’s hands
in her LED lit shoes
that squeak
as she skips
beaming with delight
beneath the neon brands.
For you’ve played your part in my history
helping to shape
my past and present futures
you gave me Herbie
my driver’s licence
my enduring career
these magnificent wings
the endless frontiers.
But I will not be seduced
I will remain resolute
immune to your charms
even as you play my sentimentalities
presenting long lost friends
presenting past passionate lovers
I shall not succumb
I’ll… oh. mmm,
what magnificent scented balms…
