grape jelly

i live with this
spot
of purple
jelly on my white
shirt all day long.
a splatter from
the butter
knife
when making toast.
i hadn't noticed.
nothing
helps to remove it.
everyone points at
it and
asks what
happened.
i can't escape it.
i'm not
sure how i can go on.
tomorrow
they'll say,
what, no jelly today?
after i put 
a clean shirt on.
