Burlington Factory

your
level of income, such
as it
was in the early days,
caused you to buy
the cheaper brands,
to wander
the big stores
where clothing lay
around
in bulk,
with long racks
of pants and shirts,
thinly hemmed,
beige raincoats as seen
on TV's
late at night.
you were
always turning the tag
around
to see the price,
the current
mark down, then counting
out
the cash,
and perhaps if it fit,
you'd wear it out.
