Restoring The Grace In Cheapness

I was not quite 'born second hand'
but as a child and an adult
most of what I have owned
has been well pre-owned and pre-used,
and much bedded-in before my life with it.

By the time I get a thing it could be
anything from second-hand to tenth-hand.
I am likely to be the last get the use out of it.

All of what I have had required input
from human hand and and eye for it to be
still fit for my use of it. I wish I could thank
those that made what I find still fit for use
for their hand in keeping my life more solvent
and me looking half like those around me.
