London in Creative Writing - The Boxpark


Quiet Pop Up Claustrophobia

White – the sky. Black – the boxes. Yellowish – the wooden square.
Black metal boxes encapsulate shops and colours, to protect them from the weather, the silence and the industrial colours outside. A wooden square with wooden tables and trees makes the natural artificial. Grey and brick red buildings embrace the place.
Pop art portraits hang outside the boxes. Pop colours, pop faces, pop forms. Pop atmosphere inside the boxes: consumerism lurking in T-shirts made in China next to Amnesty ethical boutique. Pop overpriced pumps imprisoned in spaces without women to wear them. Pop food and pop clothes nourish stomach, happiness, art and shopaholism.
Pop primrose drenched in bored decadence, the melancholic voice of Lana del Rey flows into the next track. Nobody is here to notice, only some spare Tuesday morning’s wonderers.
Pop up mall of pop dreams without dreamers.
