Like Laundry

Just tired.

11/09/13

 

It's like a tank top.

 

They start out

That just-right kind of fit -

Snug, pleasing and appealing,

Holding you like a second skin;

Making you look and feel so good.

 

Only after a few tries,

They lose their shape

And have to be washed and dried

To resemble anything close

To what you originally knew the existence to be.

 

It is a risky business

This washing and drying.

 

I wish it would just come a kind of rain

Where I wouldn't have to keep

Treating this like laundry.
