Closeted

---

Yesterday and Today Himself: Still working right up to the moment we left for a tour of the new gym. Herself: Did too much: laundry through shopping and dinner, I was the ultimate in hourfraus. Purelandmountain.com offers the latest news from Japan on days he isn’t fighting his local fauna.

I do not want to part with these whites, blues
and greens that carry with them such fond
memories, such daring dreams, remembered
hopes that sag now from behind, or just bag

even as the modern fabrics stretch. Most
breathed their last before I bought them, now they
lean timidly from their many hangers
waiting till I reach for them closeted

in their rows. From the neighboring thrift store
these two tans came, and these three greens stopped by
just for a too short visit. These four jeans
would still be mine if they bent with the times.

Someone else will cruise or travel far in
tired white or blue. I crisply dream anew.
