SEEN BY THE POET
Seen by the poet, the young housewife
is an object of amorous curiosity.
She is Innocent Peggy,
and he, Sergei, the Corruptor.
He maneuvers her to Price Chopper,
she buys cheese and baguettes,
takes them to the creek bank.
She loosens her top button.
A flock of wild swans rises,
wings beating clamorous
as a million pages turning.
He has lost sight of her -
now only, on the far bank, Sookie,
astride a great swan, laughing.

The moral is this: in American verse,
The better you are, the pay is worse.
