for the occasion.
we take
a bath
with soap. brush
our teeth
and gargle.
we comb our hair
and brush
the lint off
our suits.
we attend to the eyebrows
and hair
along the ears.
we're playing
at weddings,
at funerals.
we have
the invitation in our
pocket,
the address,
the name
of the deceased.
we'll be on the grooms
side this time.
we're dressed for
the occasion
as we carry in our
gift wrapped
toaster oven from Sears.
