Untitled 24

I saw a picture of you today

You were wearing the shirt you wore

When you kissed me

I know shirts can be washed

And worn again

But you were also wearing the same smile

And that left me to wonder

Can you wear the same smile twice

Did you forget to ever take it off

Can you wash it

Hang it up to dry

Be careful

It’s delicate

Or can you wear that smile

For another

Was there someone else

To help you hand-wash it

In the sink

Carefully placing it over the clothes line

In the backyard

Then gently

Help you put it back on

You,

Carelessly flaunting

Such a beautiful thing
