Antiquated

Old, no longer shapely, but warm and comfortable

with stretched out sleeve ends, that hang mid-hand

in reach of cold fingers that tug, and curl up, and into

the tightly woven, brown and gold, knitted thift find.

A give away, left abandoned on a rack of good will but

destined to become a well loved relic, appreciated

for the aged attributes used as criteria for it's rejection.

Antiquated.

Value, and worth, restored by it's selection.
