Places
At home:
Her! Always.
He all but explodes
into a Hitler Salute daily.
But at work:
absorbs a score of
good mornings,
most fearful.
Goes it thus for years.
BOSS.
Enter, then, mincing:
Mistress.
And emotions ripped from
his fat chest.
Mme Hitler learns everything
and finds it hilarious. She does,
however, make sure of her future.
Divorce not necessary if he’s
locked in to this deal.
For now.
He signs.
Mistress acquires phantom illnesses.
Other two talk her down from sighs.
This is, however, not a nice story.
Gets worse no matter what
the parties essay.
Thank God nobody else cares!
Though they’re creative, actually.
(Last, wife works out condo deal
for amusing Mistress.)
The 3.
And get to liking that in each other.

The Grouping
When Moore found a table
and chair, it completed him.
Trio from then on.
Makes no difference what he did.
His own clever solitaire with a
wildly shuffled deck?
Or laying out a newspaper in
patterns?
Or staring through his seven
inch tablet in meditative moments?
As if his eyes were nails down to
the Center of the Earth.
Did think of a woman, but another
chair seemed sacrilege.
The present grouping having an aesthetic
coherence as it stood.
You might feel he would die there, like that.
He had that thought too, and it comforted him.
