It’s the COVID again,
Still,
“Agstill,”
If you will,
.
I’m in Kohl’s in the market for
Literally one t shirt,
.
Find it in the
Form
Of
A Rolling Stones
.
After sifting through
Myriad
Childish shirts of
Ninja turtles and
Superman
.
Which for some
Reason were fitted to adults,
.
Finally
Find it to
Walk clear to the other side
Of the store
.
To checkout and
There
Are
.
Literally 50 people
In line and so
.
I kind of
Catatonically wait in line for five minutes
Knowing full well that I’ll
.
Have moved all of two feet during that time,
To walk the shirt
.
All the
Way back to the other side of the store,
Put it back,
All wrinkly and
.
Make my
Way to the
Exit and leave and all the while
“Kiss from a Rose” by Seal
Was playing on the PA and
For a second I’d almost forgot
That that’s what
The universe was like.
