My new shirt said "How bout 'dem apples?"
it is now covered in tomato sauce,
little spots
set and will spread...
I bought it the day before yesterday.
when i put it on
it smelled strongly,
new
and i had to open a window
and spray some perfume
it was like too white tennis shoes.

my tee shirt is probably spoiled now,
because i was careless
because i didn't look,
because my mind was somewhere else...

My shirt is Ryan White,
endless suffering of those of us too young to die.
