The sea was full today,
busting with crowds all around.
Schools of kids going to school,
doing their best to impress
all the rest. No care, or dare
to be bold; to swim away from the Jones's
and try on their own sense
of style. Programmed to do
exactly as they do.

Sure they have their variations.
Some don the Fitch and some
sport Versace, a little Von Dutch
here and a little Prada there. The Gaps
and the Crews, Hollisters and Eagles.
All different in price or color or cut, but
their purpose the same.

Approved by the many,
with no touch of the self.
