From the Black Coat To God

from the Black coat to God brushing my coat get the dog hairs and lint trapped in a rough brush long firm strokes across the shoulders down the back there is a flap like an old trench coat stitched shut why it was meant to fly open freely allow me to run and why did god give us mouths then sew them shut with religion
