comfort clothes

your sense of fashion
has changed.
there was a time
when you dressed sharply.
pants neatly pressed,
a dress shirt,
polished shoes,
everything crisp and clean,
new, or almost new,
even in jeans and a sweater,
there was a sense
of style and class,
but things have
changed, you went from
brooks brothers,
to early morning shabby,
that grey homeless
look with a baggy
well worn feel. a hole
in the sleeve, who cares.
you've entered
a comfort phase
of fashion in your life,
shuffling about with
a mug of coffee,
minus the tin cup
with which to beg
for spare change.
