I found a hole in my collar while ironing
in a shirt I've had forever
well,not quite "forever" forever
just "forever" given the lifespan of a typical shirt
fourteen years
She gave it to me the night before an interview
along with having my lucky shoes polished
she was so excited as I opened the Nordstrom's box
wanted me to hurry and try it on
she really wanted me to get that job
It had been in my regular rotaion ever since
so ofen that I almost don't think of her
every morning I put it on... almost
how many times would that be in 14 years?
Maybe 300 or so?
I suppose I could still wear it under a sweater
or under a blazer I don't plan on removing
But It will probably just hang in my closet
Causing me to reach for it once a month
before realizing it has a hole
