Polyester Pants

 

Delightful to wear polyester pants again,

Bucking all fashion trends and cruel class distinction.

The gift from a loved one renouncing the days when

 

Monogrammed sleeve cuffs, cufflinks, silk ties and ball pen

Adorned fine threaded fabrics of custom tinction.

Delightful to wear polyester pants again,

 

Baptized, clothed anew in the garments of great ken,

Kingly for the kingdom where love is the mission.

The gift from a loved one renouncing the days when

 

Slavery to sin ruled the new day and heathen

Pursuits parsed the day’s minutes into fad fiction,

Delightful to wear polyester pants again.

 

Meditate to the day and plight of those first cen-

Tury martyrs: fierce Flavians; Benediction

The gift from a Loved One renouncing the days when

 

Captivity, damnation the plight of all men,

Condemned them to a death like final extinction.

Delightful to wear polyester pants again,

The gift from a loved one renouncing the days when…
