Caught in the Draft of a Door Ajar

Mannequins peering out from a storage
bin, we slouch across from
the "No-Food" paper sign
that sags to a pulp though the message still shoulders
the glass door entrance. Incoming shoppers,
their shared orange

squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial
grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'.

Crowdsourcing emboldens shame, our French kisses hung
on tangy wind chimes breezes tongue.
