some need pressing the rest are
ready-to-wear I had no idea
they could be cleaned up so well
I remember wringer washing machines
hanging the heavy secrets out on the line
in winter stiff as boards freeze-dried
I can’t believe I’m telling you this
it must be the power of secrets
to camouflage themselves as memories
when the only real secret is that
there are no secrets at all
everything is right out there in the open
but most of it passes for crisp white linens
or underwear hanging on a line
