Sweatshirt
He tied his sweatshirt 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
fob otiose lines
statesmen seduce with
from the mount
but he didn’t trip bowed if
having spoken yet the speech
stayed hidden in his mind
