Lying Down And Forgiving Poem by Robert Rorabeck

The day elbowed boyfriend loves you like
A frog in the amber patinas of airplanes who are enamored
With the continents who they can see down to earth,
Divided up there in unequal proportions,
Who snakes through their utmosts, and other bereavements
That the fairytale princesses have agreed not to enjoy,
But lined up in touristing wonderment anyways:
Mystified by what they have paid for- lying down and forgiving
When instead they should have made a meal out of their game.
