Jacket in a Dirty Room

House of blues

Sunset boulevard

In the corner of the room, racking up dust

A dark blue jacket sinking into the walls of Mount Olympus

Pleading for help

The dazzling jackets stare, and laugh at the unloved clothing

"You are not worthy. Just clothing for a homeless man to wipe up his crack"

"A piece of shit left to rot"

A Jacket which could have become something, a beautiful something

Forgotten because it did not appear good enough to stand with the lighter, prettier jackets



(This poem was inspired by the Jacket from the House of Blues)
