Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 – July Covid-19 P.A.D. – Day 8 – Let’s Go Shopping
“We’ve finally opened the Mall! (They haven’t really, not yet). Let’s walk the concourse and find us a new outfit to make us feel re-connected with the world. We’re putting on a new face. The title of your poem should be “Shopping at the (Insert Mall Name Here)” If your closet is full, what are you going to purchase during your visit? We’ll all get through this buy and buy!”

Where
to go
first time back?
Attack that shoe store,
try on new perfumes in Macy’s,
check out jeans, frustrated that they never quite fit right?
Let’s wander through Williams Sonoma, aghast at prices of cookware we’ll never use.
Choose new towels at Pottery Barn, feel those soft sheets. Look at pretty pillar candles.
       Get something to drink, realize you are exhausted, head home.
