Big Boy Jacket

matches razor bumps
and spiky crop

shiny shoes
and big boy socks

some hair product
escaped onto your shoulder
but that's ok
you're doing big boy work

folded newspaper
and thin metal frames

pinstripes
and shiny silk bits

you left your coffee
on the floor of the train
but do not fear
another big boy will come by to clean it up for you

button flap
and single stitch seam

hand warming pockets
and a once white hanky

all ready for a big day
filled with big ideas
and big moving gears
big things for a big boy
