The idea of a list is important to some, I guess.
The bagel baker and candlestick maker, for instance,
proud of the work beneath their fingernails,
thinking it a maneuver, a conceit, an extended
metaphor walking along a country road
without a care, momentarily spared the trivialities
of now. Of course, at some point, they’ll
have to address the keynoter, which reminds me,
may I trouble you to ask if you would kindly
address the envelopes on the laminated table
in the alcove, a chintzy knock-off of the Shaker’s
contemplative craftsmanship unveiled amid
an aural backdrop of Copeland’s Simple Gifts?
