costume party

the pope
wears a costume, 
with his tall hat and shiny
robes.
the king
and queen. royalty
with crowns and capes,
billowing pants
and dresses.
the priests in black,
the monks in brown.
the policemen with all those
glimmering badges.
the orange robes
of the cult.
the dancers, the waiters.
the army and navy.
with their blues
and greens.
everyone in costumes
but you and me, or
maybe not.
