Tree (Today Is An Important Occasion)

(Album: Music For The Knee Plays - 1985)

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 and different kinds are are needed for different occasions:
A blue dress for intuition
The grey shirt and maroon slacks for making strong statements
The navy pullover and her woollen 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 corduroy slacks.
The red dress.
She leaves the house the outcome is certain.
