back to black

i change my mind
and take off the red shirt.
i try on the green one,
the one with tropical leaves
and mangoes.
too early for that, perhaps.
then the blue shirt.
pale blue.
with an ocean rolling
across my back.
no, these will not do.
i stuff them into the burn
barrel in the yard, light
a match, then go in.
i'm back to black.
