Here's a choice:
"torn clothes if you like.”
Distinction is a social construct
this truth we know
this truth we unlearn
with singular determination
and train eyes to worship
fashion and trend
those deities manufactured
as all deities are
to obtain confirmation
and make profit on the side,
and not everyone is like Voltaire
able in five minutes
to talk away his face
so he could bed the Queen of England
if he so wished,
not everyone can erase with ease
consecrated inconsequentiality
and not everyone can peel away makeup
un-layer deceitful garments
and bring forth the heart
resplendent with blemish and wart;
as for me, I wear clean clothes,
some torn and some not
in adoration of preferred comforts
for I have no eyes
to see eyes that will not see.
