And so it has come to this –

where everything is equal

the lights

the darks

the delicates

and those that are not so much. 

All seen is as one,

as covering and necessity,

not as separates.

What may have done for others,

in other definitions,

now must do for all

in any capacity. 

Someday,

they may return to their individual freedoms

and the choice of preference

may render those down-trodden,

unfashionable, or holey

into the back of the drawer once more. 

Until then,

they do

what

they are supposed

to do.
