Today I related to a towel
It had a giant hole and several more small ones
Expected the holder of the towel to look at it with disgust and throw it away
Clearly it was useless
Instead, they chuckled fold it in half, and proceeded to clean with it
Like there was nothing wrong with it at all
It took me by surprise
I related to that towel
I have holes
Torn apart in obvious ways
Looking at myself and seeing useless something to be tossed aside, replaced, thrown away
Then I'm surprised
When someone ignores the holes and tears
And makes me useful
I relate to that towel wondering how someone could see past the flaws
How they could see useful in all this uselessness
Why they don't just toss me aside
find a newer, cleaner, better towel to use
When this one is so ugly and Worn
I relate to a towel
But maybe I'm not useless
maybe I just need to sew myself together
