We had to change trains in Aleppo
And I did not tell my lover
That I had once named myself Fortitude
The manicured nails of the fat man opposite me
Were crying for the flesh of my beloved
I checked my watch
Twenty-five more minutes
Then, looking at the manicured nails,
refused an offering of oranges

interesting feel to this...urgency, anxiety...

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
