Alarm awakened me at 2:30 am
got into my robes
kimono and a Hakama
modelled after the 12th -century
archer's costume:
on top of this is the koroma
a heavy outer garment
with impossibly large sleeves
on top of this is the ruksu
a kind of patchwork bib
which incorporates an ivory disk:
and finally the four foot
serpentine belt
that twists into a huge handsome knot
resembling a braided challah
and covers the bottom of the ruksu:
all in all about 20 pounds of clothing
which I put on quickly
at 2:30 am
over my enormous hard-on
