Dressings

she wrapped herself

in complaints

and walked down
cracked pavements

in hope she

would stumble

he cloaked himself

with stuff

yet wandered out

in flea markets

to bring manifested

pennies back

to his garbage barge

they showered themselves

with compliments

but then asked

why oh why us

when there's

no more room

for any one else

to pay them praise

he dressed himself

in sarcasm

and ran off

into the wild

to find the genuine

among the fake

she draped herself

with fears

and sat alone

in the dark
