My Old-New Shirt

The
green
shirt
has been
lying,
curled up neatly
inside the closet

for almost a year.

I'll wear it,
I say,
when I lose
weight,
when there are no
bulges,
no
creases,
to mar
to mark.

A year has come and gone.

The
green
shirt
is out--

on myself,
with bulges
and mars,
creases
and marks,

but not as much.
