Duane Locke

We Never Grasp the World As It Is

The motels in our brains never
Have vacancies, although on
On red streets here are pink neon
Advertising “Vacancy.” Each room
Is filled with a business man
Who did not register. He sneaked in
By breaking open a window. He
Orders room service to send up
A pair of hands without a body,
When the hands are attached again
A finger wears a wedding ring.
