The Thrift Shop
The thrift shop takes donations –
Clothing, housewares, jewelry, books
And much of it is junk, but some
Deserving second looks.
I rarely make a purchase but
At times I fill a bag
With items I no longer use
For them to sort and tag.
It hasn’t happened yet, but still,
I wonder how I’d feel
To see a stranger wearing
My old clothes – would they appeal?
I ditched them for a reason
But to see them looking fine
On another person’s body,
Would I wish they still were mine?
