Green Jeans

it was the green jeans
that hugged her legs
as gloves would her fingers

the green jeans
wrapped around her legs
as they climbed
up and up to the top of Arthur’s Seat

the green jeans
that she originally purchased
to go with her black t-shirt
at the coffee shop
where she no longer works

the green jeans
that split when she squatted down
yesterday
at her new job
thankfully near the end of day

the green jeans
that provided a story to share
with her coworker
who understood, laughed
and share her own version
of a similar story

the green jeans
like so many others
lost to thigh rub
the tear practically inevitable

the green jeans
that she said goodbye to
fun while it lasted
