i wear my clothes until they have holes
and then i wear them
longer

i wear my socks until they’re so overstretched
they barely fit
and then they’re pajama socks

i wear fashions
from years and years and years passed
bought past the date they were ever in vogue
and i definitely
definitely
definitely
repeat outfits

if i need new clothing
or something exciting
added to my wardrobe
i thrift it
and i refuse to give money
to the worst of fast fashion
even second hand

[i haven’t always been this adamant,
but as i’ve learned
of the pollution and the human working conditions
and the greenhouse gas emissions
and everything just for a cheap pair of pants
that will disintegrate the third time you wash them,
it just makes sense
to do what i can
to repeal my demand
from their ever-rising supply]
