Extensive Wardrobe

Things do not change; we change. - Thoreau

how can i know you

get close to you

all i see are disguises

vestures of deceitful enterprises

up to my neck in compromises

so many mismatched surprises

so many odd sizes

depending on what arises

Author's Note

"No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes; yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience." - Thoreau

we all do have our clothes ... those not chosen but accepted of necessity perhaps the most honest ..in relationships .. such conflicts and compromises must arise .. with the pic and closing line .. you give me such a chuckle

Well said Pete it’s like the onion scenario so many layers and how true is that saying by Thoreau things do not change, we do. Keep up the good work Pete. ;)

[Pete]

thanks for the share andrew. you remind me that there are two things that bewilder me and make me cry ... :)

[andrew mitchell]

Do i bewilder you pete. The onion scenario was in reference to all our clothes we have and how they are used for all our moods they really are a personality indicator!

[Pete]

i know what you meant. i was saying that women and onions make me cry. you andrew are in a class by yourself. been so cold here that i am dressing in layers ... :)
