Same Man,Same Folk

SAME MAN, SAME FOLK The day I adorned value: Damask king of attire Gold made me new mint And my finery nonpareil ; Even kings called me son. Then dearth dressed me up In a calico from cockroach’s jaw And hooves that tilted starboard It was want’s magic moment: The visible turned invisible. So I wondered what had changed Same man , same folk Then a thought sprang up in me : No one avoids a man because He rode on a horse yesterday.
