a torn t-shirt
I’m too fond of
to use as a rag
champion sweatpants
a little worse for wear
and those old scuffs
my housekeeper Fatma
shakes her head at
each time she cleans the soles
this my uniform at home
I often wonder
what I would wear
if someone came to call
but luckily
I don’t invite anyone
except Ali
who knows me 23 years
and used to see me
at work
in a tie
those still hang
in my closet
like some ribbons
from a long ago war
I happily retired from

My daughter threw away the ribbons from the long ago war. I was pleased to let them go.
There are some souvenirs I still like the look of. So colorful.
Upbeat cool!
And thank you again.
Cool !
Thank you.
Your attire wouldn’t scare me away. I, too, have a few tie ribbons, but am not sure why.
I actually liked some of those ties which is why perhaps I am prone to keeping them.
Better reason than, “I may wear one again” !
I can’t imagine an occasion where I would need to wear one now.
