Hee hee, you are very funny and truly a "magnificent scented boy of a thousand ages"--that stuff works really well, and I can smell you from here. One wonderful (personal) allusion I got from the last two lines-- is that when we managed a thrift store for our kid's school-- an old women bought sweaters, took them apart and made an amazing many colored quilt as a gift for us out of them. Right thrifts stores don't spend-- but ah that "rag" would be magnifecent as a royal robe for you... The progression here is very good, and the dust leads right into the store. The humor and also heightened thinking makes me giggle.

sometimes i feel like the last 2 lines... woo!
