1768

Pink boards line the green room.
In the middle of the afternoon
A tall glass of foam. A muffled boom.

The excitement you feel is coiled
Into a tear -- soon, home!
Gerard Manley Hopkins' phrase: shook foil.

Make the way by sound. Make the rounds
From the high light art class
Down to the surgical theater dome.

The sandwich comes with a pickle.
Time, goes the song, 's a bonny lass --
How light the touch that makes her come.
