Duty
I wear a tie in the morning outside
the cafe when I’m having coffee.
I don’t wear one when I come to
town in the afternoon, because
I’m off duty.
There’s not much difference to me
if I’m on duty or not…it’s like a glass
of water, half full or half empty…
almost the same.
It makes a big difference to others
that see a tie as a thing;
a statement of class or occupation
meant to mark a distinction….rare
to see in rural Mexico.
I wear a tie out of duty like that of
a Kachina, to poke at the everyday
facades people wear in lieu of being
genuinely themselves…
..chaos is very good news.
