Once loved but now disposed:
Neon jumpsuits
Disco ball
Jelly shoes
Neon jumpsuit saved your life while biking at dusk.
Kissed under that disco ball at your first boy-girl party.
Jelly shoes made you feel like the prettiest 2nd grader.
Learn to love again:
Neon patches on jeans from neon jumpsuits
Weekend D.I.Y. project fixing the broken disco ball
Still life oil painting of worn, smelly, jelly shoes
Trashed in physical presence,
forever treasured in memory.
