posh clothes
what is it
about posh clothes?
maybe people need
to dress it up?
the pitiful perjury
the cruelty
in cufflinks
silks and stockings
and makeup
to take her vows
I gave her
mine
smell the starch in the surplice
smooth ironed vestments
sinful
God knows
but the hypocrisy
in shining raiment
that’s what really shocks
over Windsor knots
forked tongues
satin sheen
lining
their pockets
The Routinis, Oxford jugglers, Ric, Richie and me, were hired for the summer ball that this photo was taken at. We performed for this bunch of bastards!
