Where Mrs. Oates Will Sit
Where Mrs. Oates Will Sit
Waiting in his Cadillac,
silver gray, Dr. Oates
swerves his lighter
to his green panatela.
Next to Dr. Oates
a poodle barks, right
where Mrs. Oates will sit,
a poodle silver gray,
the color Mrs. Oates’s hair will be
in moments now
when from the beauty shop
majestically she issues.
