Clearance! One Day Only!

Hailstorm

I never go to the thrift store
Monday mornings when everything
is half-off, despite how I like
the clack clack clack

of a steady downpour—metal
hangers over metal racks.
Everyone presses too close,
straining to see themselves

in blouses, sweaters, coats
pulled over their own thin shirts.

    Ah, how I remember the days of crazy thrift store sales (including a trip last year to Value Village on the day of it's big sale - the line went all the way around the store and took 30 or 40 minutes to get through).
