Strip mall, I shall praise thee.
Suburban concrete and glæs,
I shall laude thee.
So convenient and sterile,
I shall sing thy songe.
Functional and accessible,
familiar and adaptable,
be there troubadours and
minstrels in thy aisles?
sonnets on thy shelves? and
cherubim above thy ceiling tyles?
If there be hope for thee,
there is e’en hope for me.
