was where
my mom
took me
on
Thursday night visits
it was a really good mall
& SOME number of years AGO 
they renovated it
& it was
SEEMED 
KINDA fancy
BUT 
NOW it has a definite VIBE 
it's a WEIRD vibe
& of course 
there's ALSO the fact
that I'm not USED to 
being out in PUBLIC anymore 
BUT 
it's NOT just that
I kept soaking in
the WEIRD vibe
BUT 
then I came to some CARTS 
& these
I worked at these
they're SMALL businesses 
AND
I was VERY attracted to it
AND
the little FLUFF in particular 
I wanted one of the hand painted hats
BUT that SEEMED impractical 
they had a BEAUTIFUL 
poncho-type thing
too hot
too bulky 
BUT 
I had just the other day SAID 
I could REALLY use an
APRON
when I saw that one
it just SEEMED right
