Thank you for the blue jeans
When I was twelve My mother decided It was time to get Serious about teaching Her children
‘You’re getting older’ she said A trip to Penny’s Brand new pair of jeans Button-up shirt In short order, proper pupil
Morals and good versus evil Righteousness, While laudable Pales against goodness
A beginning of A good man In spite of the shadows From which I had come (Shadows that haunt me still)

No matter how stupid the mind That drives it.
