Retail

You hang on a rail
Poised in the window.
Flaunt yourself to passers by.

They gawp at you
Then walk on by.

You start to feel cheap
No one cares anymore
They want to swap you
For a newer model.

They move you to the back 
You've sunk to their level.

Few people try you on.
Your last year's fashion.
Your on sale.
