Wardrobe note: wear suspenders

The clothes make the man.

if he is comfortable in his own skin

only at first impression.

A costume.

But a gaze

then nearer still a touch

and it all disappears.

Confused

a moth in daylight

cannot smell

at night drawn to flame

And crossing mid stage

and exit to the left

an approach for pause

mid line

turning, leading lady,

to catch your eye.

To meet in eternity.
