Temporary Art (after Wayne Hogan)

Principles of decor dictate that
The rack be understated. Even one 
Mannequin thereby swipes all attention from
The would-be body itself a rack 
On which to feature clothes. And the thinner 
The frame, the greater the attention to
Its showboat outerwear. And if the body 
Has turned partial to a fault, lacking 
Limbs and feet? Would that be a de facto form 
Of retirement embedded in some
Temporary advisory as advert- 
Popped into the mail free of charge no less 
Showing no clothing except the ephemeral 
Potentiality for garmenting thus-fore?
