utterly candid
They say not to wear white
after Labor Day
but he is not afraid to be seen
in the same clothes twice
he knows not to read
too much into everything
without social significance
yesterday's mashed potatoes
are made to be worn year round
for centuries, even
a little room to swing around in
without must and dust and age
a private sort of greatness
a place of morning sun
where there are not quite
so many egg stains
