A note from Melanie: I wrote this poem as a personal pandemic challenge to myself. With so much around me feeling very familiar and worn, I wanted to write from the perspective of a household object, with the hopes that I may gain some new perspective. For some reason, a rag from an old t-shirt jumped in my imagination, wanting to speak.
