Tree

Today is an important occasion.

She thinks that she must wear the right clothes.

The right combination of clothes

...will make her lucky.

But there are specific kinds of luck.

Anddifferent kinds are needed

for different occasions:

'A blue dress for intuition'

'The grey shirt and maroon slacks

for making strong statements'

'The navy pullover and the woolen skirt

for discovering mystery.'

She thinks of what she wore

on a similar occasion

like the one she will be involved in today.

Particularly a similar occasion

that was successful for her.

She lies on the bed

and imagines herself in a variety of outfits.

She quickly narrows

the range of possibilities.

She tries them on

in a few combinations.

The striped shirt

and courderoy slacks.

The red dress.

She leaves the house...

The outcome is certain.
