A stately whole note as yours
At least widely touted as such.

Some things we simply must stand for.
Power goes to the chords and such
A semi-precious half note as yours
At least highly regarded as such.

She won't accept your best wishes anymore.
And Jennifer, your halter top... a consecrated altar, but
I've wrung my hands and knees in shame there

To occupy the most absent stage of beauty:
So complete, and so serene, and so sweet?

Still, victory isn't mine.
I've traced your every move then erased them
With a cartographer's drunken haste.
