closets

in a whirl wind
of fury i cleaned
out five closets
full of clothes.
six bags full.
why i had so many
green shirts i'll
never know, and
khakis and loafers
with tassels full
of dust. ties i
haven't worn since
the 80's. all of
it green bagged
and ready for the
curb. belts and
hats, scarves some
things that weren't
even mine, but i
kept them hanging
in the closet
just the same, as
if they were.
