Sonnet #173

Go to the store and buy a new you

With the right shoes, the right suit

Get a haircut, smile, the past is moot

We can buy a future, buy all brand new

A better job will come with clothes

Buy the classes that you need

Buy the certifications to lead

You can reinvent yourself with just a pose

A shine in the right light, a wink, a nod

Find a new church, pray to a new god

Find a new house in a place, plant roses

Where the ground is bare and new

New things, new places, and new you

The bluebird follows: everything is blue
