Half Chewed

Scratchy polyester pants plucked from the bottom rack. Wrinkled plaid shirts for veiling blood sweat and dirt A clip-on tie purchased on the cheep for a rose garden wedding destined for the weeds. Faux leather- funeral shoes (Like wide mouthed baby birds) screaming for a flighty mother to gift to them a half-chewed worm.
