It is the 4th if July
Happy Independence Day!
I sit here
Before my outing to the lake
Shopping

There was a time when
I was bored or
Lonely
I would find my favorite site and
Shop for shoes

Being alone,
I don't have a friend here
Elbowing me
Telling me to "Get real!"
And now I shop for men

It is very similar
There are the ones I find
So attractive but
They are heavy smokers
Ha! As if I will ever meet them!

I shop for a look
I shop for a quality
I almost place an order
Then I change my mind and
Look for someone more sensible

I shop for men
When I am lonely
Just like the shoes
When I feel empty
Which ones will make me feel sexy?

I want that one and
That one and
That one! I say
I see myself going places with
That one!

Men and shoes
Shoes and men
I save my favorites
Revisit them.
If I am bold, maybe place an order

Me too :) Happy Independence Day Love it.

I enjoyed reading this

You could just go to the store and try it on in the dressing room. While you're doing it, you can check yourself out in the mirror. :)

I like this. The melancholy is palpable.
