effigy

dress-down friday for the seventh story

i got these sandals in wisconsin
the day i wore them first
i tripped a lot
especially on the left foot
but then again
i was walking with a boy

these jeans hail from south carolina
where kneeling under sky
is commonplace
especially under full moons
but then again
the novelty wanes in time

i wore this shirt in colorado
among the aspen leaves
i couldn't breathe
especially in high meadows
but then again
it might have been the fireworks

this bracelet flew from a congo town
where i have never flown
my arms get tired
especially in the holding
but then again
the circling stars expect me

i wish this were a magic wardrobe
to take me in and out
to anyplace
escort me tripping where the lands
lie further off
for love and courtesy
