Alms for the Beekeeper
By John Ashbery
He makes better errors that way.
Pass it around at breakfast:
the family and all, down there with a proximate sense of power,
lawyering up. Less log-heavy, your text-strategy
beat out other options, is languid.
Duets in the dust start up,
begin. Again.
He entered the firm at night.
The 26th is a Monday.
