A Wardrobe Malfuction

A vision only my sleeping eyes 
can see:

Night wrinkles on dim hangers.
Bell-bottom pants,
two-toned platform shoes,
a `kipper' tie,
unhinge from time and mind.

Then the closet door 
clicks shut like a shell.
Empty hangers swing-on in the dark,
rocked now 
by the surviving members
of the Rolling Stones.
