Conspicuous Consumption

To be in Hong Kong and not to shop would be like going
To the Canadian Winter and not throwing a snowball.
Shopping’s a way of life and an art-form. You don’t need too
Much cash. This evening, a stroll down Temple Street’s night market
Delivered magnetic beads (for the health), a low-brimmed hat,
And a pair of silk Boxers. For less than a London tube fare.
