Suzy Devere

ANGST ON A SHELF

You come over to

get me and I

stand

boldly

in front of that shelf

full of

books I know I'll introduce you to,

and photos we'll talk about,

and angst that will climb on top of me

and strangle us both

at some point.


I grab my hat and a

lucky penny;

out we go.
