Window Shopping


Inadequate mannequin posing on display.  An inanimate skeleton with emotions in disarray.  He's barely noticeable except for the occasional sashay.

"Look mommy, he's got daddy's eyes". 
Precocious little girl is in for a big surprise. 

"Honey, he's just a mannequin; not a human in disguise." 

Mommy's little monster thinks mommy is full of lies.

Curiosity grabs him by the tail.  Down he goes, now everybody knows that the mannequin is really frail. 

"Look, mommy, I told you he was real". 
Precocious little girl is a future puppeteer. 

Bloody mannequin, with broken pride, has a superficial headache. Everybody's friend is someone's potential mistake. 

Untalented mannequin ponders his existence.  An inadequate skeleton is at his best when he keeps his distance.  He's barely noticed as the crowd walks on by.  Precocious little girl refuses to objectify.  Thank God for mommy's little monster and her misguided persistence. 

Inadequate mannequin with his daily mundane routine.    An impassioned specimen has become somewhat of a machine.  Precocious little girl stops to make him laugh.  Inadequate mannequin recaptures his self esteem. 

Inadequate mannequin posing on display.  He's not real, just make believe as some will say.  Inanimate skeleton may doubt his worth or ability on any given day. 

Window shopping will always be an exercise in futility except to the mannequin on display.
