T-shirt sizing
I have the t-shirt you got for me
from your first overseas trip.
It sits at the bottom of my drawer with the other clothes -
clothes that I'll wear, because they fit
and don't have fluorescent lettering.
And they're worn and washed. New ones take their place.
But the bottom of the pile
sits a t-shirt I'll never wear
smelling of naphthalene and 1994
and it doesn't fade like the others.
