Black Blazer

Black Blazer

A Poem by Alex McFadyen
"

Oh I SO am materialistic about this baby.

"

 

My beastly black blazer

The physical manifestation

Of man’s primal heritage

Like mane and tusk

And coat and tale

Vivid presentation

Of organic caressed light.

 

My spirited black blazer

A dark and bold portent

It, the message

While speech inflects

The meme is an end

And men are the means

It is the roadmap to dreams.


My miraculous black blazer,

A suit of armour for the modern age

Formidable woollen weave

Counteracts wild attacks

Reflects what is straight and true

Unassailable Kevlar

Willing the bullets away.


My lethal black blazer

The one man army of many

The buttons are little soldiers

That fire jewelled bullets at susceptible targets.

And just in case one of them goes MIA

There are reinforcements on the sleeve.


My black blazer

To discredit it is to stare a shark in the mouth.

I guess this is equal to how us women feel about that little black dress that hugs every curve perfectly; or those jeans that scream "damn your a*s is fine" LOL rare finds they are; and definitely do seem to form a barrier between us and the nasty of the world at times. Amusing write; yet contains those truths we all like to deny lol

--great lines...

This was quite an interesting write...it struck me, while reading, that it's amazing how attached people can become to ceratin things, articles of clothing in particular, and how those things can create an instant mood...sort of like hearing a nostalgic piece of music. When it comes to clothing...I think that when you find something that works, keep on workin' it! Nicely written!

Most women do love a sharp dressed man, I can understand how you formed such an attachment to your blazer! :)
