he wondered:
the equal opposite for hearts--
could love heal weird train people?--
rate affection's power, all-to-nothing--
when's heartbreak not worthwhile--
why do ugly men bother staring--
how to get permission--
then silence,
long note writing, fourth drafts,
a sigh, staring indistinctly right.
his head soldiers on:
how much before it's not innocent--
queen Boudicca in flamingo pink--
the invalidity of anguished judgement--
had he ever seen an old wife laugh,
really laugh, at her husband's humor--
would they refill the coffee for free--
