ON THE EVE OF A GOODWILL PICKUP
Elisavietta Ritchie
Like this old tee-
shirt you've kept
since school
where the stains
now form part
of the fabric.
You could not
discard this
or rag it:
Did you lose your
virginity in it
or win a team cup,
later wear it
to paint a house,
a portrait, the town....
You become
what
you become.
