something on your shirt

the whiter the shirt i'm wearing
the more apt i am
to spill something on it.

whether coffee or blue berry
jam, wine or 
chocolate ice cream.

a drip, a drop, a dollop
of something.

all day people point and say
oh my.
there's something on your shirt.

many give suggestions
on how to get it out,
cold water, club soda,
a bar of soap, perhaps,

dabbed not
scrubbed.

sometimes though
i think i do
it on purpose, without thinking,
enjoying the attention,

for which i thirst.
