Identity
The most popular brand
is just a question mark at the bottom
of an inverted triangle.
Status attached
to a symbol sewn by one thin thread
onto back-pocket denim.
A single breath
of next week’s gossip would break
a bond that weak.
Don’t second-guess. Wear the jeans that fit.
Lie down at the top of the green hill
and let yourself roll. Go home laughing.
