The Met

The Met

i’d like to
Be
the cool drink
Of water,
Quenching her,
her hydrophobic
Pallette.

a cat
To her burgled
Drawers –
Sniffing
And pawing and chasing
a phantom string.

A clutch bag
At her operatic
Position:

Full-throated
When
She ends the song –

As the singer stops –
Just as the singer stops singing.
