intruding coat pockets envy the buttonholes

while miss-gaping seams wag thread fingers

outlander cursings at refugee lint

and rump-hugging, cleavage cut

nipple pointed porn sellers call hey baby sailors

on sable furloughs another fake language

covers and diversions

draping blindfold

false colored doo-rags on the pawns of sneaker wars

crippled and bloody teenagers gurgling bad-ass

in cheap last breaths

clothes, like letters, like ink

only border human meanings

and falsify the burrowed truth
