MAKING A BREAK FOR IT

It feels weird doesn’t it, to make a break for it,
go out into the world for nonessential things.
By that, I mean things you don’t need to do
or need to have in order to survive.
By that, I mean all the things that we let go of
during the pandemic, By that I mean how
we sequestered ourselves from everything,
until toilet paper became essential,
then paper towels, then alcohol.
Now poetry.
