Time is cruel like water
is wet like Death Valley is
hot but time is most cruel
to fashion; clothes, politics
morals…all fashionable all
die distracted and are
forgotten until they are
not…
magically, mysteriously
profitably resurrected or
parts are, tragic specifics
in most cases…gathered
and aggregated, connected
and deconstructed, re-done
undone like low cost healthcare…
eugenics with a fun twist!
Skorts or black leather pants
on the middle aged when
the middle is tragic in
itself…we laugh that time has
no allies no friends
with deep pockets—deep
sympathy—fashion needs
to die, needs rebirth, needs
fools and an unquenchable
desire for change…basically
us.
