Thick and heavy, warm and supple
Chocolate brown leather, a world map lining
Four pockets to hold:
Gloves, change, Kleenexes, icy fingers,
Oversized,
It clothes me in comfort
Distressed,
It encloses me in memories from
Years of travel from
Minnesota to Maine,
Vermont to Florida,
Oregon to Kansas.
My trendy friend found years ago
In a Phoenix boutique
Is now classic outerwear and
Perfect for…
Ever.
