Hang Loose

Each sweater

dangles merrily in the closet,

without worries,

brushing sleeves.

 

Some days,

I become envious.

I separate the plastic hangers

that suspend each carefree sweater

to reveal a place

for myself.

 

Fluffy sleeves

then brush against me, but

I never feel quite

as content as a sweater.

 

I try often, because I think,

maybe one day,

I’ll get the hang of it.
