Southland (September)

Its stainless boutiques and sporty bazaars. Its Taylor Swift corridors and tireless escalators. Its complacent capitalism and top-heavy security. Its complicit brand names and rubbish car parks. Its bothered shoppers and homeless residents. Its framed McCubbins and half-price Condors. It’s escapist air-conditioning and its cologne. Its stackers and checkouts. Its flocks of iPhoners and vacant vapers. Its cellophaned orchids and pre-packaged cacti. Its marble floor plan and stretched skylights. Its grocery valleys and trolley mountains. Its sudden coffees and decorative doughnuts. Its jaded January and surreal September. Its fraught pharmacies and two dollar emporia. Its distant exits and practical chairs.
