In Praise of My Wool Sweater
How much would you pay
for one wool sweater
how much should it cost
for this souvenir
I paid 20 pounds
which is about,
if you do the math
roughly of course
and being quite fair
fifty canadian bucks
one hundred forty ringgit
three hundred seventy dirham
thirty five euros
was it well-made?
is it real wool?
who gets the cash?
do I really need it?
the answer is easy
because if you think
it resides in the question
the right question of course
Don't ask yourself
how much you would pay
for a big grey wool sweater
but rather stop
and ask
how much is it worth to you
to stay warm

I gave up everything wool when I migrated from New York to Indonesia. Now it looks like I'm getting hitched and moving to KSA. Your rug idea sounds real nice but maybe something wool, a garment of some kind...that could be a nice wedding gift since I haven't got anything wool anymore and I'll be needing something besides Mr. Right to keep me warm over there. I googled "moroccan" and "wool" and saw lots of carpets but also saw some interesting garments...What do you think?...a burnoose maybe....safest colour would be black of course considering the fact that its Saudi.

and the memories of buying that wool sweater in sunny Scotland.
Hope your tooth is better.
