Importances
gleefulness
letters with your name handwritten
on the envelope
thick, lineny stationary
fountain pens with
heavy barrels
bone china
velvet upholstered sofas in colors that
smell like old money
silk velvet anything
being recognized by the person
your friend is checking out at a club
lace stockings
black boots shiny as the seven deadlies
tonic water in glass bottles
ironed linen tablecloth meals
the smell of white starched shirts
finding yourself jostled to the front
of a concert when your favorite band's
denim jeans that feel impermeable
canvas carry-bags with mysterious insides
wool clocks and cashmere trenchcoats
places that are green and smell like
crumbled bricks
impromptu granite seats
