a poem from the evolution lost notebooks: “a fourth ode to the girl across the way”
[Author's historical note: This undated poem was written roughly one year ago, when I was working at the Kansas State Capitol. It was written during a break the proceedings of the House Health and Human Services committee. This poem and its three predecessors are about a pretty lobbyist who came to the hearings. I recently rediscovered it when I cleaned out my apartment.
I never did catch her name.]
Mr. Chairman,
a point of personal
privilege, if I may.
I would
like to take that
tall dark-haired girl out
to lunch.
All in favor signify
by saying “aye”.
