Dreamlike: All Sewn Up

Mind on
Fabric and thread,
Sewing patches on
In my head;

From trying to
Make my clothes last,
Force of habit
From being low on cash;

How would I know
How to shop now?
It’s been so long
Since I bought anyhow!

I guess there’s
A first time for everything,
Beginner’s mind,
That’s the thing!

Then there’s the time
And there never
Seems to be enough,
That too makes it tough.

To have a tailor,
Now, that would be fine!
Made to order clothes,
Best fit would be mine!

Better than wearing bed sheets,
To be sure,
Although,
Perhaps not so pure;

But makes
Less of stir,
Walking down the street
And provides more even coverage.
