Arlo Bates
Buzz in the ear like gnats.Crooked as the streets of Boston.Doubtful antecedent is as fatal to a pronoun as to sausage.Glossy as a shark’s tooth.Her lips were like pomegranate blossoms.Like to a coin, passing from hand to hand,
Are common memories, and day by day
The sharpness of their impress wears away.Tame as tepid milk.
