(Poetry) Unaffordable

Back and forth the two bicker…
The salesman stubbornly
points to the 6.99 sticker,
while the salaryman insists
the offer next door is better.

Why not go over there, then,
if their prices are so much lower?

Neither of the two will admit
their adoration for the other.
The price never really mattered,
it just gave them an excuse
to meet each other again.

They’d never admit it, of course, not these days.
The price of such a love is far too high to pay.
