10,285. I HAVE SANCTIFIED

I HAVE SANCTIFIED
My new coat is only a dream; I wear
the same one I've worn for nine years.
It works, if 'work' means to keep out
the cold. I certainly can't go 'stylin'
in it. Not that I would. I'd rather
be bare. I sanctify this skin by
wearing it everywhere.
-
Look skyward, tell me what you 
see : All those poor little birds, now
huddling from the cold, and hiding.
just as much, from that hawk seen 
up above them. Things that float 
in the sky are not always good.
