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