after Sappho
What cannot be said will be wept
what cannot be wept will be bled
what cannot be bled will be buried
what is buried will rot rot rot
I've got this Adidas track jacket
with a vibrant print of flowers
exploding all over the polyester
It's loud but I like it like I like
mashed potatoes in winter the comfort
of it even if sometimes people comment
on it like the man at the gas station did today
That's a good jacket he nodded
as he got into his car Thanks I replied
I have a collection of them Vintage on eBay
Okay he laughed Fabulous!
Whatever you need
Whatever you need
Which I took to mean my jacket
was a form of weeping thus I wept
as my car got sudsed and buffed
my arms sheathed in exploding flowers
one jacket is enough but i have six
