Ivory Tower

Poetry

They Put Their Pants on One Leg at a Time

So they say to us.
Yet the imagination
Invents some machination contrary:
Every day they just
Simultaneously
Thrust both legs within
Their trousers.
Who can count the hours lost in
Flamingo posture
Pondering this paradigm
While the pants elite
Floor their feet in half the time?
