the dark suit

you have a suit.
two suits to be exact.
there is no need for more.
a summer suit.
a winter suit, that one darker
and more serious.
one for weddings, one
for funerals.
they wait for you
in the closet
along with starched shirts,
and bright ties. dull ties.
it's usually a long
wait.
but they are patient,
hanging quietly together.
awaiting their
turn to go out
and be worn. you take
out the dark suit
and lay it on the bed.
it's time
to go out.
