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.
