How Naked the Coat Stand

The coast stand is always changing. In the winter it breads heavy

coats, wool gloves and loose over sized hats. Spring brings lighter

over coats and the occasional umbrella. In the summer the coat

stand is alone, naked. Maybe a baseball cap and a friends leather

jacket. In the fall it slowly starts all over again. Styles change, a

colorful sweater, a Halloween mask from the latest horror movie.

When sad days came the coat stand was full. When the funeral

came the coat stand was full with everyone’s best black suite and

the occasional woman’s black cape. When that sad day came to a

close the coat stand drew bare once again. Seasons change, we

change. But the coat stand always stays the same.
