When life decides to Costume you

At the first instance, you will think you have a choice.
This is because life always comes easy,
it comes easy with no force or pressure: at the first instance.
You are still used to arranging clothes for each days:
Suit and tie for the coming Monday.
This week’s Saturday has to have an Agbada in it for me,
this is what you tell yourself.
You have forgotten that clothes have spirits
& that life can do with you what it pleases.
This is why you feel different the first time you mask your face.
And you can barely move, 
because you feel you’re caged.
We all know:
It is never easy to like a new thing that’s different.
But who can have a say, when life gives its dictates?
It is dress like this or face meningitis,
Or dress this way to avoid Covid-19.
This is life, ordering us around.
Telling us what to do, live / die.
You can have a choice,
when life decides to costume you.
But what you do today,
would always decide your tomorrow.
