5485. IN THE VESTIBULE OF THE HARLOT

IN THE VESTIBULE 
OF THE HARLOT
I went to Biblo & Tannen, I went to Dauber
& Pine  -  just everywhere looking for you :
nothing ventured, nothing gained, all this
would have to do. Those gardens were
laced with their flowers  -  all acid-toned 
and well-worn down. In all the parts of
this wonderful world, just waiting
and waiting (for you!).
-
My love and my heart were foreshadowed  -
your figure was priceless in a chair.
Why are you still wearing red  -
and why do you yet sit there?
