They circle banquet tables, hawk-eyed,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
hunting crudites, canapés, bruscheta.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Fingers ferry food, flipperlike, finding<br />
|
|
|
|
|
slack-jawed mouths already open,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
squawking at wayward children<br />
|
|
|
|
|
or bemoaning The Market,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
whatever that may be.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
At some point, who cares how long ago,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
death surfaced, claimed one, submerged again.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
Who knows how well they knew him,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
their backs turned, studiously<br />
|
|
|
|
|
deciding that he is no longer of them?<br />
|
|
|
|
|
one could never guess.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
We can say his suit was very fine, perhaps,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
that the room is tastefully furnished,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
the coffin silver, the bar, open,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
quite good, and none of them are drunk yet,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
or at least none look it.<br />

|
“Good man, good man,” they mutter,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
doing all they can to convince each other<br />
|
|
|
|
|
through well-rehearsed performances,<br />
|
|
|
|
|
that this must be the case.<br />
