Daily Haiku #7: What To Wear, and Where?
a poem about online shopping during lockdown
Should I really be
shopping? / Why buy new clothes when
I don’t leave my house?
No, really though. Target has cute clothes and my hips are still too wide from giving birth 5 months ago so my regular clothes don’t quite fit yet. So, I bought new clothes. Feels weird to have done that, though, since I don’t leave my house except to 1) walk a trail that goes through my neighborhood, or 2) grocery shop alone maybe once a month. Plus, my 5 month old still spits up on everything so I don’t really have time for cute clothes! You know what though? I hate maternity clothes. Bye forever to awful, stretchy, ruched clothing!
This poem is part of a daily haiku project I started in 2020.
