i'd like to undress you he said but would that make me an accomplice?

 I found this poem on musesfool 's lj and had to repost:

what she was wearing
~Denver Butson

this is my suicide dress
she told him
I only wear it on days
when I'm afraid
I might kill myself
if I don't wear it

you've been wearing it
every day since we met
he said

and these are my arson gloves

so you don't set fire to something?
he asked

exactly

and this is my terrorism lipstick
my assault and battery eyeliner
my armed robbery boots

I'd like to undress you he said
but would that make me an accomplice?

and today she said I'm wearing
my infidelity underwear
so don't get any ideas

and she put on her nervous breakdown hat
and walked out the door

[ETA: In the middle of posting this I was helping my mom pack the car for her yoga retreat - and as I was walking under a beech tree, a yellowjacket decided to attack the nape of my neck. I've got a clay pack on it now and will take some antihistamine in a second, but I would just like to say that it hurts like a motherfucker.]

AAAACK YELLOWJACKET! That's awful, I'm so sorry that happened!

Yeah, it really, really stung. I'd forgotten how much bee stings hurt.
