my old 80s' things

my old yellow Benetton t-shirt
i had to look down to see if there were two n's or two t's
my old orange Keds
i wore until the sole ran out
of my old walking shoes
i walked to school with sue
two blocks with two traffic lights
we escorted each other
in our fluorescent bicycle shorts
black and pink and
black and green
and our matching Micheal Jackson jacket's that we bought on St. Laurent
