Observe how delicate the movements
when a gown is long or unimpeded.
Observe then how abrupt the movements
when a gown is short or resistant.
From long gowns then gentle is expected,
and abrupt is not,
for who wills to be gentle keeps their gown long and free,
and who wills to be abrupt does not.
Choice in clothes is freedom, and peace:
observe then how soldiers can only wear uniforms,
so they shall never be gentle, and
observe then how priests can only wear gowns,
so they shall never be abrupt.
Even them, in secret, can be seen
in each others’ clothes.
