Titos Patrikios – Selected Poems

THE DRESSED AND THE NAKED

I don’t know whether you can laugh

or you can feel sorry for those

who have lost their power.

Perhaps sorrow fits better

as they go about miserable

trying to find something to put on

and cover their nakedness.

Or perhaps you need to always

be afraid of them, ready as they are,

soon as they take care of themselves

soon as they wear a suitable suit

they might grab the reigns again.
