Handfuls
Someone evaluated
this city, making note of
class conflicts, the looked ahead
for more optimistic
potentials,
and then
elevated
them.
I've reviewed and assessed
the basic situation – Love's
the only ideal answer.
Someone thinks marriage is too
akin to commodification
so she evaluates the time alone,
trying with limited success to
paraphrase
intermingling signs
without losing value.
Several people think love's
impossible or awful –
they stomp around instead of walking
and chew the air ferociously.
Someone notices them,
and she's too disappointed to speak.
