lo, and behold

Stemming from my original mission to create 365 poems. A culmination of years past and days present.

64: Businessmen

The seat was taken by a stranger
who wore suits with certain leisure
with defiance in every single thread,
that was custom tailored.

and his shoes, did they shine so
with opaque beauty?
uncracked and unbent, like perfect stories.
Too fortunate, it was, to be so consumed with the other,
and to keep the old style as it was and as it were.
