Chemistry Jasmine Kowalski drifts from the lair that she wears that has sheltered her life. She’s nobody’s wife. Knitting her eyebrows, her daggered stare casts a glare and a hedge roundabout defying the louts. Her beauty torn and pallid, her anger on her sleeves she wrenches stared confessions, piles them up like leaves. Crossing the courtyard suitors she spies cast their eyes to the opposite curb afraid to disturb. Deep in his storefront, Reginald Brown glares his cares out the antique lead glass vulgar and crass His life spilled out behind him he grasps until he bleeds trading love and candor for haberdashers tweeds. Grasping his hands he wrings disappointment to soak in the sawdust below emotions run slow. Swept in the dustbin life’s precious essence retreats from his presence again; forsaken man Two chemicals divided they sit upon the shelf never were united they feed upon themselves. © Bart Breen 11/30/2001 The form of this poem is borrowed from Elinor Rigby by the Beatles but the words are my own. never try to teach a pig to sing |
