Replacing the Old
When do you replace the old?
Of course, when something breaks
Or starts to show its age and causes
Subtle double-takes.
When things no longer seem in style
Or might be torn or frayed
Or if a dozen versions
Of your phone have since been made.
Perhaps you see your current couch
On retro TV shows,
Where actresses appear to wear
Some of your closet clothes.
There comes a time when normal folks
Replace, with no regret,
The items that need updates
But alas, I’m not there yet.
