at the thrift store

today

I didn’t stop to think

 

about how before

this trip I’d had exactly the right

number of hangars

 

and how now

I’ll have to make choices–

fold or hang

 

each and every time

I put away

clean clothes

 

and I didn’t think

how these turquoise bowls

would overfill my bowl shelf

 

and now I have

bowls on my

small plate shelf

 

not to mention

I’m a lazy thrifter

who saves trying on for home

 

oh well, my friend, Sandy

will be getting some

too-small-for-me treasures

 

I certainly didn’t think

that a couple of new books

would be an issue

 

but now I have to rearrange

my entire bedside table

reading stack

 

who knew

thrifting could cause

such utter chaos
