People in museums

People in museums wear chunky-knit layers
People in museums trail children and clothes
People in museums prod buttons on displays
People in museums like dressing in mauve.

People in museums peer glumly at maps
People in museums wait in long queues
People in museums buy tea and cakes
People in museums chat in line for the loo’s.

People in museums sit wearily in corners
People in museums stare at dinosaur bones
People in museums buy pencils and postcards
Then bag up their memories and go back home.
