Fall, and I’m into track pants and sweaters, clothes that don’t fit anywhere in particular, everything loose and very comfortable …
LOW COUTURE
it is a truth I must confess 
that when I get up and dress
it is for comfort not for style
so people give a happy smile
knowing they have better taste
themselves in sleek fashion laced
from hair in a trendy flair
top that clings with an air
tight skirt/pants that have panache
to shoes that make a vivid splash
my practice is none of these
but to wear and be at ease
