Truths be Told

this occurred to me yesterday, in my closet, after an epic workout, conversation & poetry share with my friend Johari, and then hearing a tx lege session update from Texas Civil Rights Project.

Jeans

have not been appealing lately

they’re too casual

these are not casual times

these are times

for rage

and rest

deep rest

These are times

for fight songs,

for Ceremony,

ballads of the heart:

Invocation.

Incantation.

and I just can’t bear the thought

of wearing denim

Dedicated to Giselle who told me to take the tag off the pants, and own them.
