lazy lines. mixed stripes. awkward angles.
buy old. buy new. buy here. buy there.
dirty shoes. useless gloves. dainty scarfs.
polished buttons. frayed threads. broken zippers.
chipped nail polish. dirty nails. uneven cuts.
notice how all clothes have bit of a reputation. a story to purge.
in a line up, it wouldnt let you down.
in the thrift shop, over in the corner in a box marked ‘the new used’
you think its off limits, well i dont.
the item picks and choses. to see if your a good candidate.
to pull of a reputation, as good as its last one.
pray you dont fail.
contort your body in ways to make it fit.
the clothing collapses off of you.
try again.
until the next one will be perfect.
