Random Reflections of a Vest
A coat without arms is a vest--
not a broken coat or a coat with a disability.
It is just different.
It may have trouble alone in some environments, like the snow,
but do better than a coat in other situations and environments.
You can't cure a vest, it isn't sick or broken. It is different.
Minor alterations can be made but only if appropriate.
If you have the skills or can find someone with sufficient skills,
it may function better, but it is still a vest.
You do not regret that it is a vest because it is not a coat.
You accept.
You wear it.
You take care of it so that it will last a long, long time.
