Being Short With People
“You’re so nervous I can’t stand it!”
Rose to Mick, not the opposite the culture
has decreed.
She married calm Nocky, and they died
in a blistering suburb of Phoenix.
But it was a dry death.
And merely figurative, for the nonce.
Labels: cultural roles, death, heat, metaphor, nervous, Phoenix
