yesterday i spent a while choosing
the right shirt color
to go with the cranberry shade
of my stretchy pants

it's important, truly important
VERY important to choose the right color
because not a lot of colors
go with the cranberry shade
of my stretchy pants

not to mention the texture
which, given the corduroy nature
of the pants, should be lesser,
softer

i just woke up.
i can't move my head.
some malady possesses me,
and the cranberry shade
of my stretchy pants
seems less important
(i think i'll stay in bed)
