Summarized

  Tender Lobby


Lure on flask night clerk
cellar beef air banking
cardigan flan mirrors.
Gentlemen sworn bell fare
near handle clause, rule,
screens spoke legal glancing.
Punches moot collar environs.
Gear applause, hearty shoe jerkings
candle side remonstrances
inching a tier sleeves, tumblers,
simple row ware; follow mere
loose scratching.  …stain,
rusty bowlers and, digits flat
banister buckle gravies down unnoticed.
Drips linen.  Too replenish sofa from
call turkey, halls turkey more turkey
more round dancers boa trapping
exits feather.  Cleave rouge age.

Dried bolo waxes mantle, rhinestones,
fancy, saying port apples luggage.
Knives thumbing ear remarks marks,
pounds, dollars, fancies—kindle
brick sterling rocker caught napkins.
Is necktie chew matter.  Knows
passes fruit tailor.

Stuffed the lobby smoking panes aunt
lamps at newsprint evening edges.
Inside muff clatter jokes end
to kitchen quiet funnies. Reclined,
with glasses bald pole shadows,
brandy reading.
