[RiverNotch]

While the sparrows hold their wedding,
from between the roof and ceiling
rats are watching silently,
eagerly, and hungrily
not for invites sent too late
nor for crumbs the pickled spray
but for one such errant slob
flown too close or lit too broad:

here the Jew stomps on the bulb,
there the Gazans share the cup,
here the Bishop sings an ode,
there the Rabbi makes a toast,
while around them moguls wait
for their snatch of real estate.

i'm trying to do the math to see if it's right to call you a pervert for this   

Aunthill


She married her friend’s younger brother;
the friend married her widowed mother.
Her mom had a twin
and on days they slept in
her friend forgot which was the other.
