We Should Be So Lucky As to Have Nothing to Wear

We Should Be So Lucky As to Have Nothing to Wear

A Poem by Pete
"

"After the first blush of sin comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made. - Thoreau

"

we wear our sins
which is why our closets are so full

Author's Note

Pete
"Only those who go to soirees and legislative halls must have new coats, coats to change as often as the man changes in them. But if my jacket and trousers, my hat and shoes, are fit to worship God in, they will do, will they not? - Thoreau
