Lover (Free verse) by Dental Panic

with a bit of bad luck you're in the wrong tube today descending the stairs at the eastside of the river you'll miss your train but you never miss your train it’s the one at seven fifty and you’re lucky there’s a place at the window and nobody in the opposite seat staring at you then you get on a bus the 8 has a stop nearby the 3 departs more frequently which one you choose depends on your mood the weather the shoes you wear a whiff of coffee a cigarette the driver’s face take care

I found that O'Hara poem you recomended. I think I have problems reading some poets because they use so many references and allusions that unless one has spent their entire life reading, there's no possible way to catch up! Very frustrating this is, MMHMM? This particular poem WAS more acessible to me. I still don't know who the lady is. Would it behoove me to chase down all of the allusions? I'm taking a hiatus from writing as I have no direction, no plan to take my poetry anywhere specific. I believe without that, my efforts are useless. This is also why I've taken to not leaving comments. Take care, E-mail me if you wish.
