Pattern

 

Pattern

 

Wise ones say there is a pattern to love.
We must figure out the one that's right for us.

Let us refuse to go round in circles,

become boxed in by squares

or driven insane with geometric nonsense.

Instead let us grip lines of red, black, yellow

and envy.

You run cross-ways

and I'll run up and down.
We'll pattern our love in a blanket of plaid

and dare the world to hate it.

An ode to my holiday bra and panty set--it's fabulously plaid.
