she sits on the sofa of unexpected depth
without depth she sits in imitation
of Edwardian debutantes out of the country
for the weekend and hoping to be
considered a flapper if only
for this one night in dim lights
and the slipslung alcoholic spurts
of men to be gathering in loud
hopes of cutting through the
background of the music and
each other to be the one
the sofa yields to the aspirations
the sofa has yielded to better
