Our time together was all too brief
you were my second favorite pair of jeans.
Had you had a darker wash
you would have been number one.
We saw New York, LA, snow, sleet, and sun.
But yesterday after stopping at 7-Eleven
while mounting my bike to leave-
you split from crotch to knee.
O' Arizona Straight Cut Jeans
you perished the same way
many of your brethren had gone before.
Shredded by time, damp, and legs splayed wide.
I will miss your stolid sturdiness
but you were a substitute for one before
and although it is inconvenient to replace you now
you are not important enough to grieve.
