I changed my outfit
at least three times
this morning...

Each time changing
an item,
adding another —

The top —
from dark caramel
to honey beige...

From dangly dark loops
to my first pearls, a gift on my twenty-first...

Each change of clothing
Changed me too —

From uncertainty, to exacting —
From wasted and worn, to dapper and fresh —
From feeling old and haggard, to ready to take on the world!
