Leggings

There are laws and leathers
The depth of which are relative

There are eggs and everything else
Meaning sacred union cycle enclosed and beating

For a while, slip-ons and laces
Then velcro and zippers

Elastics and plastics
Made room for fake outs

There are vinyl bathrooms
Non-porous kitchen surfaces

Before long people forget
Not nine-eleven forget or alamo forget, just forget

Then there are brands
Icons inking professed somethings

After dinosaurs and volcanos, us
And byproduct half-lives

Then elements
Then shadows

Then forgiveness
Then foraging

Then bravery
Then eggs
