men's
warehouse
for formal clothing to buy
a tuxedo.
jet black
with a white shirt.
they do some
quick measurements,
then ask me what the occasion
is.
wedding?
party, some glamorous
event
at an embassy or the Kennedy
center?
are you giving a speech
somewhere
in Sweden?
nah,
i say. sometimes i just
want to put
a tuxedo on
and walk about.
shopping, strolling around
the lake,
taking the trash to the curb
on Monday mornings.
that sort of thing.
but hey,
maybe put a carnation
in the lapel, okay?
if you have any and
a cane and a top hat would
be nice too,
do you have any of those
high gloss shoes?
put a pair of them
in the bag.
size ten please.
