Anthropologie has upped the ante lately with their sales. The deals this year have been very good; sequestering me in a cycle of orders and returns.  However addicted to the madness, there are some items online that have me questioning.

It’s been a while since an article of clothing has inspired me to compose a poem. Here goes:

‘Tis true I see some abstract fish

Flitting through merino seas.

 

But the dolmen sleeves

Give little reprieve

From what they’re reminding me.

 

Despite composition

There remains recognition

Of a show from the late eighties

 

Where the father wore sweaters

No matter the weather

That looked quite similar to these.

 

Even though it’s more luxe,

And the shape is more loveable;

For me, (and this sucks),

It still looks like a Huxtable.
