Here's to old things
and the space they inhabit
the way satisfaction with something old
crowds out new
crowds out more and more and more
Here's to my truck
and the two lives it's lived
though once manufactured
two
hundred
thousand
miles, moments
compacted on one steel frame
Here's to old jeans
always, always better than new
patched, soft
jeans that know the shape of me
Here's to repairing
Here's to maintaining
Here's to cherishing
Here's to less
For me
sustainability
is an old red truck.
