Bell bottom leggings dull gray
Sweat-shirt old school
over too long t-shirt
cause I was cold in the sunny breeze
another shirt tied around waist
in my imagination it's back support
sports belt carrying water, ID
and keys are wrapped around that
scarf to protect neck exposure
big brim fisher hat over an obvious pink bandanna
shades to shade my visual sensibilities
new balance sneakers with 1/2 inch space at the big toe
curb position extend leg right then left
ouch, hip wasn't warm enough
I see you in my peripheral side stretch Sir
I nod a hello and you mouth the word stunning
taken aback, I manage a crooked smile
thinking you must be able to see
my full-length body suit underneath these layers
then I mouth back the words thank you
