Even in the pandemic when everyone said
They Didn’t Have to Get Dressed
wore black sweatpants
I don’t have sweatpants never had
they wore slippers no one sees
your feet on Zoom
even in the pandemic I who have
always loved clothes even as a child my mother
tried suggesting maybe I’d want to
Wear Something Matching,
I never did and all through this difficult impossible
pandemic I woke up every single day no sweatpants
only earrings, many pairs, and clothes
and clothes and clothes and I would dress
just the way I always have, with a certain amount
of abandon, and then, I’d even put on a pair
of real shoes: yellow, or red, or green.
I can see you now!
Let’s all get dressed up and have an Easter/Passover/?Spring Equinox parade (not on Zoom).
