THE SHIFT
One day, from the bathroom mirror to the shower.
Twelve hours, and the nine after it. What the garment is doing at each one.
05:40 Bathroom
Five colors, one block. The only decision left is which one.
06:25 The train
It reads as clothes before it reads as a uniform. The leg opens below the knee and breaks over the shoe instead of stopping at the ankle.
07:00 Handoff
A woven label at the back neck and at the sleeve, left undyed. One mark on the whole garment.
11:20 Rounds
One chest pocket, two lower, all set flat. Placed where the hand goes, not counted for a spec sheet.
15:40 Everything at once
Boxy through the shoulder and chest, so the arm goes up without the hem coming with it.
19:10 The train home
Elastic waist, undyed cotton drawstring. Hour twelve is not hour one.
20:40 Home
The clinical environment shouldn't follow you home.
