Poetry - 2006

a reading for Tim Ainsworth by Lloyd Godman

Encased

Hey you in the suit - you with the brief case
what business do you hold in this place
what commerce do you propose
when you sit in waiting while other rush about
flaneur projects ineptness in this place of purpose
what combination does your case hold
what key holds your secret
let your surreptitious rationale escape through any hole it can
Materialize for all to see
time will expose your intent
