Poetaster in Paris Poem by Richard Kenney

Poetaster in Paris



Risible, he who at Le Cafe Haute-Coif
gaffes: gazing absently at a graceful jeune fille
feels the unnoticed soda-straw nick his nostril,
steals a glance sideways, scanning for witnesses,
nurses his drink, and subsides once more into nuance.
