it anymore,
my favorite blue jersey
that i bought
in 1975.
once indigo blue,
now
faded and torn,
frayed, full of holes.
once big and thick,
how many winters did
it keep me warm?
how many
runs along the beach did i
wear it
on summer mornings,
how many nights
did i sleep in it
when the heat wouldn't
go on?
but i couldn't wear it anymore,
the collar gone,
the sleeves
ripped apart,
so i folded what was
left of it and stuck it in
the dresser,
top drawer.
