"The Manchurian Candidate" [by Elaine Equi]

Manchurian Candidate 4
The Manchurian Candidate

Laurence Harvey: he of the glazed eye,
who could stay under hypnosis
for the length of an entire film.

Who turns playing solitaire
into a dangerous game.

A below the surface kind of guy.

More intense than Dirk Bogarde,
less mannered than James Mason.

A bit of a Hamlet

The quiet type who ends up murdering
his scene-stealing, scheming mother
and her sleazy boyfriend.

Who points even with his name
to another assassin –
the Lee Harvey Oswald yet to come.

-- Elaine Equi

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
