FOR YOUR CARUNCLES

Felt a quick
pang spreading—there;

vague and 
thick in my quaking low 

back—upon lowering
your particular-

ly sleek pink and 
cold chassis carbuncular

down—for now, to the bottom-
most shelf of a Frigidaire;

and—without even 
really thinking—named it 

not thanks, but sympathy—
