Jesus is a Suit

Jesus is a suit,
fine pressed Italian
sharp creases for a sharp look
Jesus is the best pair of leather shoes
polished like glass
a crisp linen shirt and silk tie
that I put on in the morning
to look my best when I go out
into the daunting day
tailored to fit me perfectly

when I get fat
I let out the seams (a little)
and when I get home
I can take him off
hot and itchy, uncomfortable to wear
the whole day through
Jesus is a suit
I can hang in my closet
to keep him safe
until I need to wear him again
at all the best occasions
