Frilly skirts, off-shoulders, v-necks

Sweaters, suits, sun-dresses

Hairbands, socks, and fancy gloves

With pockets on the tips for the fingers

so the hands continue to function freely,

padded bras, push-up bras, sports bras

boxers and panties.

Last I remember,

Dogs, cats, wild beasts

Insects, birds, flowers and trees

Were unclothed

Somewhere along the way

Humans decided

That beauty was ripping the fur

Off of our skin,

That beauty was about

How well one can hide

All that is within.
