White Tank Top

Matt Perez is a New York native Puerto Rican who loves watching film, reading philosophy books and playing with his dog, Nugget. He resides with his loving partner of seven years and thanks her tremendously for helping his growth. Matt's writing was inspired by the works of Paul Kingsnorth, Dylan Thomas, Greta Gerwig and Spike Lee. You can catch Matt anywhere from teaching to filming short films with his friends.

White Tank Top: 

A drawer of white tank tops lay bare in the solid wood dresser. 

A slight musk of witch hazel, cologne and age flutter into the nostrils. 

Some pinholes, some tears, some paint marks. 

A vestment of life, now lifeless. 

A soft reminder of life, now redundant. 

Once clothes, now cloth. 

Once love– now grief. 

A drawer of white tank tops, now a drawer of memory.
