Back Then

I remember
when open tweed jackets
crisp white button down shirts
and khaki pants
were the formal wear of dykes
Every one in good standing
owned a pair of timberland boots
and a river driver’s shirt
Levi denim jacket, flannel shirt
button front jeans and 501s
I remember when tee-shirts
proclaimed womyn
We wore our politics
cut our hair short
and wore different clothes
Monday to Friday
