ephemeral apparel

it's what i wear today
my heart on my lips
my thought- spotted drips
my beliefs on my sleeve tint
my gut cut and pierced in print
rock it shy
rock it bold
dress it real
bless it and deal
heal

get over it
get into it
give it for real
wearing my zeal
it's what i wear today
all i've got
all i am
all i'm not
all that i want to be

it's what i wear today
all my feathered bullets
these day in and day out poets
you and me, pilots to our rockets

it's what i wear today
halfway to someday
swaying in this day
pushing through this passageway
i rock my soul as my forte

my best fashion
my moment
stained and sewn
all i own
cloth for my backbone

i paint the world today
just by wearing me today

and launched are all these staggering rockets
we're all just ephemeral snippets of a moment
how brilliant

to wear who we are
learning it's okay

it's what i wear today
