3001. O'HANLON'S GROVE (Andrew Marvell)

O'HANLON'S GROVE
(Andrew Marvell)
'More standard lap of luxury shit.
Isobar, and a real nice car - call him
Joe at any hour. Magisterial front porches
and a large porte cochere. Dinner by bells,
announced at the hour. 'I've got a big car;
they can all fit in.' I hear them talk about
the swimming trophies and new trunks
for the season. 'This one is really hard
to stir; I might add more sugar.'
-
When the light comes in to these walls, it's
all and always so very nice. False idols.
Saints at their grottos. All those imperfections
of man. I really just want to stay.'
