Thrift Shop Shopper

I climb into the sweat-stained silk
and soiled linen of another
and get a load
cheap...the creamy white....full length
7...hardly worn...I can take it
in here...or take it...up there...ooh perfect...
fits like it was made for me.
Pushing my face into the scent of another
I'm zipped in black...god, its HUGE
laced in red...so tight...so slippery
it comes off fast.
Over my head....arms high up in the air...
I get one off
then another....any color...any size
I just want one more...I want it cheap...
I want it to look
like I'm making it.
