POST-ELECTION, 11/09/16

slopey shoulder seams

soggy sleeves too long

white shirt wrinkled

baggy gappy dingy collar

puckered and jagged

from misaligned buttons

two-button blazer like

trash bag in midnight

wide tie tied too tight

knot no different

than yesterday’s but

feels chokey now

pants got no seat all

waist but no room and

unraveling hem

him

staring aghast

disgusted disoriented

tugging at the fabric

picking at the now

unfamiliar fibers

pulling and pulling

but not pulling it off

after all this is

his only suit so

instead called out

for his wife

to ask about where

this new mirror

came from
