she catches your eye with her hues and hems
hanging amidst the wreck of a rack where she rests
while you wonder why, how she found herself here
standing out against the stains and fades
so you buy her beauty before even thinking
to try her on or look in a mirror
and even though she's beautiful
when you finally get her to your home
you realize she might not be the right size
and despite the pain that parting brings
you know she will never belong
in the same closet where you hang your clothes.
