went through my closet and threw out
my fat clothes, tossed
suits and fancy frocks from office days
discarded dowdy and pathetic
got three things left
sorted the kitchen
gave away six iron pots and
service for twelve
guess no dinner party now
packed the crystal
in monogrammed towels
from my first marriage.
boxed up ten years of Cat
World magazine, took it all
to the thrift store
Now starting on my brain.
Time to shop and fill the empty closets and cupboards.
