[This Little Evening]

Clawhammered face, hammerheaded

Land-shark of this little evening

Of drinks together afterwards,

I don’t know how your almond-faced

Wife stands you for a second. Please

Can I freshen your drink? Yes I agree

Cows miss the intellectual impact

A real work has. Take Dianne there

She’s more aware of you watching

Her being aware than aware of what

Friell is saying with those spaces.

You would like to take me outside?

I won’t go. But maybe Dianne

And I will get our coats and leave

And walk through the dusk of the square

Tenderly and find a taxi

To take us to a place together.
