Visions of the Yale Library
where a sari insinuates
scholars, in hunches, eyes
above blond glasses
diving then to proof
as she is by
and by
the checker, dour enthroned:
both subsumed
as the doorway widens to
mercury noon.
At lunch she'll laugh away
a junior's suave ennui
at George and Harry's,
nod on cue,
wring teabag a-
gainst spoon.
His Despair slouching towards
Elegance she
stares past...outside
bright cars contend...
and past that old penultimately
randy inference,
thence right to breathing tea
wherein a somebody
unfocusses his gravest
evidence in time
to glimpse along
a scintillant, inner eye
a spiritual dress.
