    Him with the platitudes and rubber doughnuts,
    Melting at the knees, a varicose horror.
    Hello, hello. My nerves knew you, dear boy.
    Have you come to unhinge my shadow?”

    “Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
