Sweat Shirt
He tied his sweat shirt around
his waist shoelaces undone
you’d think might snarl and
he would stumble
at the podium where
he craved to lucubrate
for new beginnings
independence
freedom from debt
statesmen seduce with
when on the podium
but he didn’t trip bowed if
having spoken yet the speech
stayed hidden in his mind
