her big sweater

when she put
on her big sweater
she got
a lot of attention.
people
walked
into walls
and stumbled
into tables
and chairs
getting a glance
of her.
it was as if
everyone was
drinking, or that
we were suddenly
on a boat
swaying in
rough seas.
you can't wear
that sweater anymore
you told her
before you broke
up. but she
did of course,
and when you saw
her the other day
out on the street,
you walked straight
into a lamp post.
