All I really care about
is undressing.
And you want to talk to me about clothes
and what to wear for what occasion
or who is wearing what.
As for me,
each layer I have on
feels like a clunky armor
and sometimes even when I am naked
it is not enough -
my skin feels too heavy.
But
go right ahead and tell me your joy
of dressing.
How it makes you come alive.
Tell me the colors you like
how it feels
what suits you
and what doesn’t
and I
will try
to keep my clothes on.
