INTERIOR GUESSES

The custard is not a main course
And the style of a varnished walnut
Makes light work of the resolve
Not to donate one's time to baser
Pinwheeling. A sentence seemed so
Important and then I was lost.
A sentence is a way of moving the goods.
Logistics. Heartbreakingly irrelevant stuff --
You have to wonder whether love was ever
A serious contender for that one, but only
Becaus he so stridently sidles into
The periphery, where all the great seductions
Are supposed to occur. I dunno. I guess.
