Snodgrass

With lies, self-denial, unspoken regret
And the sick eyes that blame; before the divorce
And the treachery.”

A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”

“The sleek, expensive girls I teach,
Younger and pinker every year,
Bloom gradually out of reach.”
