permanent press

I notice the ironing
board
in the basement, unused
for years.
what with permanent press
now,
who needs it.
not to mention my casual
island wear
that needs no pressing.
and the iron,
it's silver face,
cold, stone like
on the shelf.
a few drops of water
still inside,
the spray starch, the can
still full,
beside it.
there must be something
I can iron, smooth out
one night.
