Worn Blues
I
Today I’m home in my old blue jeans.
Funny how the blue of blue jeans
is a neutral, Funny how this blue
by default is not blue.
Anything goes, with blue jeans.
My shirt is green.
II
My brother wore a blue suit
to be wed, a duck egg blue
piped in navy blue
with a floppy bow tie
of blue at the throat.
It was the height of fashion.
I did not like it.
III
He is sleeping in his wife-beater,
looking like a labourer, biceps
displayed, body vulnerable,
as exposed pits invite tickles.
Wife-beater blue is the non-blue
of jeans, a working man blue
without the blue collar.
IV
All the men on the panel,
at the table, on the screen,
with the microphones & cameras,
they all wear suits of blue.
Sky or navy, pale, electric,
the mode is blue. Important
Men wearing ugly blue suits.
V
I am wrapped in a blue blanket
or is it a shroud? Sadness consumes,
none of my questions have answers.
