Ode To the Unworn

My closet has a few mistakes, My dresser drawers, as well, Of clothing that I bought for reasons That I just can’t tell. For sometimes in a dressing room, Though something’s not my style, I convince myself that buying it Would make it worth my while. I get it home and hang it up Or fold it so, so neatly And there it stays for weeks and months, Forgotten quite completely. At times I’ll notice shirts like these Or skirts or tees or pants And try them on to wear them, But there’s really not a chance. It’s best to stick to tried and true Where clothing is concerned Or deal with hangers filled with proof Of money you have burned.
