Door rattled urgently as if
The Messenger's last strength
Bad tidings to deliver.
Neighborhood adolescents
Aping Hollywood adulthood with
Soigné attitudes, hard boorishness
Meek incompetence to mask.
So I swallow anger remembering
How difficult it is, being stupid
Glandular and awkward when
Beauty passes you by.
Has P locked her lover out again?
This crazed midnight urgency
Must be rapture, self or other
It hardly matters.
This senseless knocking
As if a Cosmic Concierge
Will answer her desperation
With solicitous gentility.
