Controlled Drowning

Baby grand, ground floor, vast elevators

Dolphins in the river, dolphins! by the bridge

Burgundy sweatshirt, mustard kicks, newspaper mornings

Martini corner, cutting board, iced tea spoon and jigger

Gold armchair pillow, umber shag, square freckled hands and a book

I wanted his jeans, they gave us his wallet and watch
