those old blue jeans
walking out of the water
we weren’t wearing pants
although there’s not much
recorded history on this
in the garden of eden
it was kind of & sort of
the same story
no shoes or shirts or pants
but alas those places
were more or less tropical
places where you can put
your hair down
and just be yourself
so this pants craze
must have started
centuries later
once we started venturing
closer to either pole
april two thousand twenty-five
