I ordered that Matelassé bedspread
the one on pinterest
although
in the twin size
the full was sold out
and
afterward
I remembered
when I was in my teens
or twenties
I told my mom I wanted one
for Xmas
although
when I heard Matelassé
I didn't put it together as the same thing
I had called it
never having heard it
MATE-a-LACE
although I didn't realize
the pattern could vary
I thought they looked
classy
and homey
at once
what my mother wanted to get me
though
was chenille
which I didn't want
I thought those looked
tacky
so
as I recall
I didn't get either
