Pants Without Pockets

Pants without pockets

like doors with no knobs.

No functional implement

to receive a key.

No access to a splendor within.

These dark deflated caves

lodging coins or clover leaves

or hands in the cold

with entrance and exit

conveniently the same.

Homeless,

without pants to thrive in.
