The sharp blade of the pointed collar can cut off
the Medusa snakes writhing around the neck,
It can also drain the blood of worms from the throat.

Blue-collar, white-collar, gold-collar, fearsome simplifiers
use economic status to annihilate species diversity.

The little hooligans’ shiny slicked-back hair
big black lapel, with a smooth red tie.

Never forget the red scarf, the white shirt, blue pants,
chalk painted white shoes for the sports meeting.

The priest’s stiff white collar keeps him dignified,
his steps slow, as though his collar is filled with lead.

Cardboard fake collars, disguised as suits
Are quietly popular among rookies in the office building.

Your beige windbreaker in college
collar raised in romantic defiance, reciting angry poems.

The head of thought can shrink into the collar of language
Then tremble and pop out like a rusted spring
creaking with laughter.

Now you prefer the ease of collarless T-shirts,
Don’t care about exposing your slender collarbone
making the sand rope of slavery twitch with temptation.
