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.
