Jeremy looked into the mirror as he straightened his tie
he looked large and square and strong
ready to face another day in his pinstriped navy suit
hiding within its silken folds
he looked like the man he pretended to be
the morning sun greeted him as
he opened his door and stood on the step
he savoured the warmth on his face
as the minutes passed
Jeremy's Mondays were always like this
all dressed up
and nowhere to go
