Ode to Sweatpants

Mia Douglass

You make me feel as though 

My legs are coated 

In bliss and clouds

You stretch and stretch 

And I am in heaven

The cotton against my skin

So soft and flowy

No one else appreciates

Your soft warm strength

Your fleece in the winter

Oh sweatpants

I have not fulfilled you

For I have 

Never sweat 

In you

Everywhere in the world

People put you on

The hands in pockets

Your soft, familiar pockets

They all love you

Oh sweatpants

You are life
