16,033.THIS ROQUENTIN

 THIS ROQUENTIN
Redolent? Rich? Requited? Paraphrasing 
solitude on benches and the sea. Roquentin,
the archetype moper, sees the chestnut tree.
But larger too looms humor as he watches: 
Peripatetic with Annie who teases the point.
Roquentin, out of joint. Like a burning coal
blazed in my mind; a most satisfying act  -
stays near me all the time.
