wardrobe malfunctions


i've always liked a deeper shade of orange
color that took me places
you know, the kind of tint placed deep i the corner of a room
where the shadows lurk right above
away from the lights and fixtures
nothing super artificial either
its like, if it was bright outspoken always accessible
it just didn't have the right swag
i knew that flavor before
tasted it on my tongue one too many times
wasn't very unique nor did it help me sleep
bright light never helps me sleep
not only that but it can be relatively easy to overlook it
and because its so ill-tempered its oft neglected
you pad your room and leave the orange to linger in a closet
and throw it next to a skeleton
maybe your sexuality too but that's only for a few select people
you close the closet tight and walk away
it stays though it doesn't leave you
and when you open the closet
it jumps out at you like your pet dog
who always loves when you return home
it doesn't matter how many times you put it back in the closet
tuck it away from your life
its meant to be here for you
and it'll never leave

you take the shirt back out
with its padded orange color
put it on your body and smell the perfume
the cologne
the body spray
deodorant
whatever it is you can smell it linger
around your body and skin
you leave the house
with years of age on your body
you look at the patio and see a passing by stranger
with a similarly colored shirt on
with similar smell
you both get close begin to speak
and its natural
and you pass and continue your day

the day continues and as you make it on time
and punch into the clock at work
you look around you
and everyone has that bright shade here
its not the same kind of shirt
its not the same smell
not the same people
you get close
and you talk
its not natural and it doesn't feel right
so you clock out
make it home

back on the way to the patio where that same dressed
dark tinted person walks
you both stop glance at eachother
wave say hello and go back to your homes
and this is where you hold on to the closet
and this is where you hang all your bright
yellow shirts
