You were a signed copy of teddy roosevelt’s letter to his son
I was a grey mink coat in extra large
You were from the greatest man to walk or ride
I was from a dead 50 year old smoker who bought this with her lover’s money
The man behind the counter offered $7,000
But from the day you put your arm around my waist I knew you were worth much more
The man in front would have given me up for $50 or a pack of baseball cards
But you wouldn’t give me up for anything
Even when I spilt coffee on every singed parcel you’ve ever dreamed of
Or when I kissed another man from a shop off Palm Bay road
But the coffee was really too many bottle of champagne
And the fur of the minx was faux
My skin was made of several materials including blends of acrylic and mod acrylic polymers derived from coal, air, water, petroleum and limestone
And you were pure marble no granite no porcelain no
You were the molecules coral was made of
You were strong but you felt pain when another polyp got to close
So you stung them to assert your territory
This is the way it works in every reef
This is the way it works in every pawn shop
This is the way in works in everyday life
But the fact that you would were this poorly made winter coat
And let it touch your skin and keep you warm
Makes it worth the world
