my green jacket

i found this old jacket in a box of my cousins old clothes
it was velvety and forest green
i wore it every day
until the little lint balls consumed it
and the buttons fell off
and the popular girls would ask me
"why do you wear that"

because it was my favorite color, and soft
and kept me warm

and i kept wearing it
loving it all the more
while i picked the lint balls off in class
