I debated,
Did I really need to go?
I almost didn't park the car,
Did I feel safe?
I took a deep breath,
Considered an online attempt.
It had been
More than 2 years.
Some stores gone,
Common areas eerily quiet,
Some prices outrageous.
Many sizes unavailable.
Went to a few familiar haunts,
Still masked, still wary,
Left with new
Shirts and jeans
That fit.
