That this better be worth it
Projecting himself into situations, rooms, relationships
Imagining and crafting tomorrow
Writing an autobiography in advance
The new shirt becomes a talisman
Its price tag not yet removed
Already he has cast it into the future
Molding it into an item of myth and religion
Fabric faded, worn, pliable
Transferred into his favorite garment
A symbol of this moment and future remembrance
Treasured
Admired by others
Until his future wife chides him for it
And threatens to toss the ratty thing
