After
taking
a
bath
he
decided
to
walk
outside
unclothed
naked
as the day
he
was
born
But
the gasps
of
his neighbors
convinced
him
to
hurry
back
inside
and
at least
take
a
sheet
with
him
Going outside
this
second time
he introduced himself
as
Socrates
It was clear
several
were whispering
about him
Police arrived
lights twirling
siren
sounding
He found
himself
with far
more
attention
than
desired
and so
to this
day
only ventures
out
in a suit
and
tie
Mister
is his name
now
He
is the modern
human
man
Conforming
not
performing
God
so wishes
it was different
but
even
God knows
wishing
don’t
make
it
so
Back
to
the
drawing
board
for
the
Almighty
“Damn”
thundered
across
the
heavens
