This Fashionable Man

These clothes, designer labels, tee-shirts, by Bench, by FCUK, by DKNY,
These shirts by Dolce & Gabbana, by Ben Sherman, by Yves St Laurent,
These jeans, these trousers, by Jack and Jones, by G Star, by Diesel,
The contents of this wardrobe, expensive, no money spared,
Indicative of someone who cared.
These creases, these ruffles, these collars, cuffs and hems all frayed,
These colours faded, pink not red, no longer black but grey,
These jeans once new and fashionable, threadbare now,
Worn by a man once loved, a man now dressed by people paid to be there,
Now hidden away, forgotten, by those supposed to care.
