James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Holy Pant-

I come before you holy;
Ah! but the pebbles on my feet are so rough; 
The mack daddy will flee, in pants of poly;
Forgot to check for cars first though;
Hope is never hopeless;
Alas, my leg of dry gangrene,
hath fallen off again;
Where's the Scotch tape? 
In a dress? A dress, address; 
Out west, 
is where I went, alone in my escape
