Misbuttoned shirts make great cutting boards.  A woodshop is best manned by undone zippers.  A garden tended by forgotten belt loops flourishes.  An unkempt beard produced this dream for other razor-cut and softly rounded faces.  Too heavy earrings and high water pants made it happen.  The disappearance of high water pants is not a problem as scarves are completed by hands that forgot to wash up.  Strong perfume takes care of untied shoes kneading bread.  In a garden down the street, stained shirt no longer takes part in scarves woven by skirts tucked into underwear.  Unbrushed teeth light up the room with a piece of dark lettuce stuck in an obvious place.  Coke bottle lenses watch the flowers grow with a shirt a size too small while unbrushed hair hugs his friend with too heavy earrings.
