My Clothes.
I believe in body heat.
My body does the trick.
I never iron anything.
My clothes are mostly lose….
Misshapen like sag curtains
hung from me,…faded
with a tear or two.
But sometimes they sing happily,
And are exactly right…y’know.
On rare days,
I’ve an air of elegance…
And swing along with hair a blowing
in a wind of dance !
I love my scruffy garments.…
They are older now… like me.
They are my long term friends.
My living memories.
Fashion…
I’ll never know what that is….
It never was my passion.
