Jackets

My red leather jacket

I’ve given away.

It wasn’t my fave

Though it fit me okay.

 

It’s hung in the closet

Unworn now for years

And a new owner likes it,

Or so it appears.

 

It makes me feel good

To hear someone enthuse

About something I’ve owned

But I no longer use.

 

Yet I still can’t give up

My suede jacket with fringe.

Its shoulder pads date it

Much more than a tinge.

 

I won’t wear it, but still

It transports me, and how!

To a time in my life

So much different from now.
