a few days ago, i went to a local resale shop to pick out a new coat. i am a coat junkie. at this moment, i own four winter coats. all four are from resale shops and cost under ten dollars. this is the second day i've worn this one, and i can't help but feel slightly self-conscious whenever i'm breaking in a new coat. there's something wonderful about trenchcoats. not those uncomfortable leather ones, but a nice, long, wool coat. when i walk to my bus stop in the morning with this great, heavy weight resting on my shoulders, i feel grounded. braced against the wind, i feel comfort in knowing that a passing stranger cannot discern my sex. i can step outside myself, is what it all comes down to. thank you, wool trench coat.
