Showing and tripping

It takes a whole lot of luck to wear this dress and look with compassion to the neighbors
who are taking out the trash around midnight.

It takes a whole lot of luck to wear this dress and wave down a taxi that is reluctant to drive you  outside the city to where all the green is.

It takes a whole lot of luck to wear this dress, swallow a pill, go on a balloon trip
and look down at the mosaic of your country like a drowsy astronaut.

It takes a whole lot of luck to crash carefully in beautiful weather.

Some voices shout robe instead of dress.
