Pillows, pillows
Where once
a brace of pillows
on a bed sufficed,
now an extra pair
provide the chance
to drop and prop.
But wait,
two more,
or four
and garnished
with a cushion
or two, or more.
What's with
this excess
of plumpery?
You almost feel
you could, like Gatsby
with his shirts,
just fling them
in the air, para-
phrasing Daisy:
'All
these
pillows.'
