Packing
How long is too long
to keep a graduation gown hanging
on the back of one’s door?
Its almost like leaving out a Christmas tree,
just as exorbitantly decorated,
well into March, April, May.

i thoroughly love this! reminds me of a friend’s poem about what to do with his grandfather’s clan robe found in an old trunk… i suggested, in a reply poem, that he make it into a wedding dress, doilies, a tablecloth – something more useful than the life forced upon it.
Another good one! Love the comparison to the Christmas tree.
