cheap clothes

these cheap clothes.
one wash
and they've shrunk beyond
wearing.
too tight to get on.
the threads
already unraveling,
the collars
impossible to iron.
the pant legs
now short and above
your ankles.
these clothes.
these coupon clothes,
marked down
and down
to the point of being
nearly free,
worn once,
then stuffed away
in a drawer, or bagged
for the corner
pick up
on Saturday.
