i remember folding my laundry
in my dorm room
putting it all away
with the grateful dead played "touch of gray" on the radio
blue jeans went neatly folded in the top drawer
t-shirts in the second
boxers and socks were stuck wherever
i dont remember what she said or wore
or why she was mad at me
i just remember her sitting on my naked bed
then before she left me for good
her helping put the fitted sheet on
because after wash the sheets were always a little
smaller than the bed

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

Be grateful she didn't do the tee shirts as well.

Mine always end up passed down after they just come past my chest.
