My Clothes
My clothes have prints, designs, cartoons, flowers, swirls and whirls.
I search in vain for a solid pair of slacks, throwing checks and plaid out of my closet in a furious heap.
I know there is a plain turquoise somewhere.
And a green, and a red.
Or did I give all the plain stuff away?
I pull out one of my favorite pairs, it has flowers, of course.
Hopeful, I search in vain for a plain top.
I must have thrown them out.
My closet is an explosion of faces, pictures, cartoons, and flowers.
The closest I have is a small plaid.
At a distance it looks less plaid, more gray.
I try it, and look in the mirror.
Not bad.
I leave unmatched,
but happy.
Instructing my husband
to please bring me one
plain pair of pants
which I will never wear.
