it is so big
it takes more than
one of us to manhandle
and roll it along
until we find just
the right candidate
to wear it;
it is so heavy,
our biceps will ache
for days from the strain
of picking it up,
setting it perfectly
upon the shoulders;
so,
while i am busy
adjusting that concrete
necktie on another,
would you mind
sweeping up all
those tiny pebbles
i don't mean to drop
on the floor
in front of everyone
around me?
