Yay, I'm first on. This silly thing is bothering me, but I like it. I've thought on the title, but nothing comes to me. The word longhandles looks off, but dictionary.com says it's ok. Maybe I've just never seen it in writing before.
So ... your thoughts, overall?
OVERALL
When you wore overalls
every day,
they beat the daylights
out of the dryer
every weekend.
Big Smiths,
every shade
of blue.
White painters' overalls
in summer.
No shirt.
Wintertime,
dark stiff newcomers
over red longhandles.
At home,
that wounded veteran,
missing a buckle
on one shoulder strap,
but still functional,
overall.
