Neckties

CEE

Rite of passage of
Male as proper
Was something never instructed
Rather, Kenneth, a frequency
I was supposed to hear
Dog whistle
Early employment, clip on bow tie
Late in life marriage tux
Jeweled stud into upturned collar,
Never learned the useless geometry
A rite of passage which should have died
Long before the Twin Towers did

(yeah, yeah, I’m a little boy, fine
bet you can’t vibrate your middle finger
for many long, extended minutes
without ever altering its position)
