a closet full of memories

i can still fit
into my first wedding dress
she tells me
opening up
her closet and showing me
the white dress
she wore during her first
of five
marriages. it's
wrapped in a plastic bag
and tagged,
number one.
i see her cheerleader
outfit from school in there
too.
i ask her if that still fits.
of course she said,
just yesterday i tried it on
with my black and white
saddle shoes.
i did some cheers in the mirror.
do you want me to put it
on for you?
nah, maybe later.
what about that straight
jacket hanging 
in there.
is that yours too?
