Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
I don't know if I will,
said Doctor Jill.
Give her a pill.
Mount that hill.
Do not kill Bill.

TERRIFIC!
Proof that poetry CAN be didactic ans still be poetry.
Also proof that major concision doesn't always mean haiku.
Thanks, David
