Wardrobe Valentine

If it survives the next
one hundred years
it will appear on some
televised antique show

with the original finish
of gloom on its French
oak wave-like grain
formed after all by slow

absorption of nameless
streams and eddies
so we can see what life
was like in those days

when the wonderful events
of today were only dreamt of
and gave them hope
