I've seen them marching by in trios
Little girls and their mothers
the American Girl Dolls stiff in their arms,
and the way their mothers stop
point at the red canopy and they scurry toward it.
The return trip with the red shopping bag
and the happy faces,
some of the girls are dressed like their dolls.
The mothers often look less cheerful
than when they crossed the plaza on the way there.
