buttons on with hair on them,
and a girl that once
grew with my sleeve;
a bag of straps that overflow
to hammer-heart in elastic breeze
the only thing felt odd about
is to elbow through
an elbow pleat;
and embarrassment to live without,
hence clinging to the column spree

Read this if you like your shirt. Like this if you’re wearing one.
