old clothes

the edges are frayed.
the fabric
weary from wear,
unravelling
at the seams,
buttons loose
and hanging in
the air, ready
to quit
and fall onto
the ground.
everything can't
be new
all the time,
sometimes you need
to take
what's on the shelf,
what's
hanging on the pole,
what rests waiting
in a drawer.
