purge.

what did you do on the fourth of july?

i cleaned.
and cleaned.
and then cleaned some more.

and then i got a wild burst of energy to

c-l-e-a-n - o-u-t - t-h-e - c-l-o-s-e-t.

but not like the cleanse and purge of my past life where i look at that one {or 4384375} really great thing in my closet and promise to wear it again... so i end up keeping it.

i must have been on a mission to simplify

because i gave most everything away.

i could clothe a small nation with that pile.
and that wasn't it... i hadn't finished the rampage just yet.

shoes. swim. tees. denim. dresses. skirts. new with tags. cardigans, even.
stop my beating heart.


and do you see that? SPACE between the hangers.
i haven't seen that since april of '04 when i moved in.

now, listen. the leftovers? i gave 'em all away already.
to poor people.

so, to all the usual suspects who call dibs on my leftover wardrobe... it's too late.
... think of the poor people.
