Covering up
Yesterday I wore the powder blue sweatpantseverywhere that I went- shopping, counseling,
taxiing my little tribe of misfits around town
I also wore my favorite hoodie
the bright purple one that fits just right
and isn't too hot and makes me feel safe
Resistance to the mundane aside,
the day brought appointments, errands and ire
the modus operandi of maintaining nothing
And at sunset, I slipped myself into
coffee cup pjs and a cozy sweater
in an attempt to cover the emptiness
Though there was really no need to hide
(invisibility suits me well)
and the numbness took me quietly to bed
Today I showered and put on some makeup
I even wore jeans (the purple sweatshirt remains)
Oh, and the powder blue pants are in the bin.
