Sonnet 11PM<br />
Drew Pisarra<br />
Pajamas are a form of formal wear, the tux<br />
of the bedroom, the suit of the boudoir. I own<br />
two pair: one, a blue Mao suit; the other, a luxe<br />
cliché. You know, you’ve stripped me of both. Had I known<br />
pajamas were lingerie, I’d have insisted<br />
you wear mine sooner. You see, I couldn’t care less<br />
that on you, the pants ride high and my waistband gives<br />
so the snaps unsnap... My dear, I fetishize this.<br />
If clothes make the man, then jammies make the lover.<br />
Dressed or undressed. Tops and bottoms. You’re well-paired<br />
with me. I’ll take you whenever and wherever,<br />
whatever you wear. In the end, you’ll end up bare.<br />
Neither of us will honor this costume of sleep.<br />
I see on it your face: first the goat, then the sheep.<br />
