Holding Onto

What am I holding on to that I need to let go of? ~ James Clear

The easiest answer is these slacks
that with an inch or two less
of waistline might fall off.
I considered taking them in
for alterations but getting new
makes more sense.
I’m holding on to mouth moistening lozenges
and it’s more habit than need.
They’re scarce during covid shortages
and not worth the money or the mess.
But I bought more today.
Should I use them up then quit? Why?
I’m holding on to hating phone calls,
would rather text but someone else called today
and the worry wasn’t worth the phone phobia.
