after e
e
cummings
no one lived in a she'llberight suburb
(with nature strip close mowed to kerb)
spades clubs diamonds hearts
she played her wouldn't weeded her will
labor and libs (both federal and state)
plied her by postbox sought out her wait
they promised their wasn't offered where can't
carbon diamonds processing offshore
focus groups guessed (and to values appealed
and down they denominated up they concealed
clubs hearts watery graves)
that no one would wish for company unbidden
when by tv and youtube by clip
she feared her embrace (who would jump ship
seekers of jobs hers and her mates)
would encourage a rampage open the door
no one to her neighbor was married today
all things considered safe mucher that way
wheely bins on the verge no longer opposed
diamonds enfingered hearts safely closed
