You've misplaced the opening scene
where you in silhouette
disappear into an apartment building
in a late-night snow storm . . .
Inside the vacant apartment
miniature glass slippers
arranged paradoxically
speak to you extemporaneously . . .
You entertain the notion
of a dentist's appointment
for a loose crown . . .
or an afternoon feeding the bears
that wander onto the knoll
looking for evidence . . .
Nothing can be done about this . . .
Nothing should be done about this . . .
The light will change
but isn't that usually the case
especially when ordering takeout? . . .
