The Naked Pilgrim & Dressed Scholar

Poets stand vulnerable

naked of syntax rules

vulnerable to context

    open arms

celebrate

emotional continuums

grounded in printed imagery.


 

    Time to dress.


 

Clothed in reason

circumstance fabricated in pockets of theory

methodological layers of connections

discriminations pattern the clash of

racial colors

arguments well ironed into the seams.


 

Questions shiver for another layer

to cover the naked pilgrim

or make hot and uncloak

the dressed scholar.
