I woke just as dawn was peeling the day,
and with my eyes closed tried to guess what
t-shirt and boxers I was wearing
beneath the covers pulled to my neck.
I guessed the medium blue boxers with
the gold diamonds and the grey t-shirt
with the gym logo on it.
I was wrong—black & grey boxers with crosshatches
of thin maroon stripes, white t-shirt
from a half-marathon.
That’s OK, I’ve been wrong before when
my eyes were closed, thinking
something was one way
when in fact it was another.
