In a properly aligned universe, pockets would never change. Alas, the universe is seriously out of whack.
You see, each pocket has a fixed purpose. In pants, the right-front pocket is for keys, the right-rear for hanky, the left-rear for wallet and the left-front for potpourri such as a phone or the occasional coin.
And, in a men’s dress shirt, the lone front pocket is for pens and a virus mask.
Everyone knows this stuff. Right?
Wrong. Clothing designers have taken us to a dark place. The universe won’t be happy.
I am not happy.
I bought two dress shirts this week for work, and they have no pocket. They have no pocket!
I discovered this catastrophe only after donning the shirts and trying to slide a mask into … nothing.
Humbug.
Please sit before reading the next sentence, to prevent injury from shock and fall.
Left no other option, I folded my virus mask into the potpourri pocket of my pants.
Good golly. Masks. Are. Not. Potpourri.
Humanity faces so many calamities. And now this one, the Pocket Apocalypse.

Necktie fashionistas can sue me
Jeff, I am truly grateful that you gave that warning to sit before reading that sentence. Oh, the humanity, indeed.
Ever appreciative,
Darlene
