Presentation Counts
Winters, Mary
Mary Winters Presentation Counts Chairs are for weaklings. This is a country Where we sit on the floor. A bed is for dying; Keep your body upright. Even it it's armor Holding you up, The latch...
...Presentation counts...
...Unlikely In the famine...
...Your burro in chain mail As big as a horse...
...Drapery hiding Its spindly legs...
...In case you prospered...
...You ordered the suit Too large...
...Breastplate stops you Pitching forward...
...Got fat...
...More imposing...
...Even it it's armor Holding you up, The latch flipped Locking the knees...
