The Gift of Clothes
Location
You’re always demanding, my cousin said.
You have to learn how to give. Whenever
You meet the person of your dreams, the first thing you do
Is make them some clothes. You think they’ll
Have to see you again in order to fit them better.
But what happens is, they don’t have the time
To fix them, & they’re afraid that if they see you again
You’ll expect them to be wearing your clothes, & will
Want to make them even more. So they
Ditch the fashion show. You end up wasting
A lot of fabric. You should have them make you some.
