cardinals: windless, godless, ball-less, rules

i bought three things today at the salvation army for 12 dollars. upon review of these things, i thought about how i only go to this second hand store for clothes and how most of the things i buy are similar, if not from the same person's wardrobe. i wondered if i had appropriated someone else's closet. everything i get is almost my size, only slightly bigger. like all sevens or eights or stretchy. none of it is very stylish, but i probably would look great in the nineties. i wondered what this woman was like, if she was young, like me, when she wore this shit and if she was happy. the colors would suggest so, but colors are stupid. i wondered if she would like me, or if she would love me if she was my grandma. i guess she would have to. unless she hated my mom for being an alcoholic and me for cutting up her old clothes. she is probably a hundred people.
