Eating Out Alone"
The loneliness inside me is a place,
Harvard where no one might always be someone.

to the mysterious and beautiful

visible, ignored ... the moment that tries the soul,
an explorer going blind in polar whiteness.
Yet everyone who is seated is a lay,,
or Paul Claudel, at the next table declaiming:
"L'Academie Groton, eh, c'est une ecole des cochons."

no word unheard, no sentence understood
a vocabulary to mortify Racine ...

More than ever, some sort of new arrangement seems in order, some dramatic and unknown arrangement
