Courtship
This is mimicry of all mimicking animal and plant life. This is woman: the reason for cologne and four- by-four pick-ups. The bottle helps, cause of and solution to all human wrinkles. So too the pen. And insomnia. Many have a laundry list—of all things to list. Nearly filling the list are socks. Fifty-two individual white socks. Six of various colors. Next: T-shirts, mostly black. And in the pants’ pockets: other lists. They are all for groceries: eggs, bread, aftershave, a trove of fall mums. This is all more mimicry for woman. Also, too much beer.
