David Byrne - The Knee Plays (Nonesuch store)

Tree (Today Is an Important Occasion)

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 needed
For different occasions

A blue dress for intuition
The grey shirt and maroon slacks
For making strong statements
The navy pullover
And her 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 corduroy slacks
The red dress
She leaves the house
The outcome
Is certain
