[ The Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls ]
the Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls
are unbeautiful and have comfitable minds
(also, with the church's protestant blessings
daughters, unscented shapeless spirted)
they believe in Christ and Longfellow; both dead,
are invariably interested in so many things -
at the present writing one still finds
delighted fingers knitting for the is it Poles?
perhaps. While permanent faces coyly bandy
scandal of Mrs. N and Professor D
.... the Cambridge ladies do not care, above
Cambridge if sometimes in its box of
sky lavender and cornerless, the
moon rattles like a fragment of angry candy.
