the wedding suit

you get an invitation
in the mail
to attend a wedding.
you open your closet.
the two suits that still
fit are dust laden.
the black one less
so because you brushed
it off for a funeral
last winter.
the tan suit might be
the one for this event.
white shirt. yes.
a tie. red, blue, yellow.
this could take some
work. and shoes.
they should be shined.
but its not me getting
married, so what's
the fuss. go and eat,
and drink, and breathe
a sigh of relief.
