I may not be the subject of age


But here my shopping will engage


The crack of my knees pulling hurt


Fighting over a plaid skirt


?

The battle was wild


Our bodies were piled


In the rooms of testing


The people weren't undressing


?

The crowd went crazy


The managers were lazy


All I can afford is to say


Wow, what a day


?

The sequin isn't as pink


This I may have to rethink


I might not want to be 21


For that was totally not fun


The author's comments:
This poem is about the insane pheomenon that the store Forever 21 has become. The structure of the poem is written in four quatrains and uses imagery to describe the fight to get the clothing that was so coveted. Some examples of imagery were when in the first stanza, the knees are cracked to get the skirt.
