Prêt à Porter

The Past wears tight jeans
and the Past wears a zebra-striped leotard
it wears a two-piece, bargain store bathing suit
Winnie-The-Pooh PJs
flip-flops
Size 6 Daisy Dukes
and
it wears
as much James Avery as I could afford
an unpronounceable shade of pink toenail polish
a smile and little else
glasses and a cotton sleep shirt
her latest little extravagance from Victoria's Secret
copper tone, cocoa butter and sea-salt
a little black dress
a bridesmaids gown
a clean white hotel towel
Jockey For Her
my old denim shirt
a mischievous grin
an easy smile
flannel
silk
novelty slippers
and that little blue thong
the Past wears
twenty-years of my life
as if it were a favorite sun dress
lightly and without care
the Past wears

my heart on its sleeve.
