wrinkles and other poems

junior league final
the young one, crushed
over missing a goal
being consoled
by an old man
who'd made a career
over missing goals
in his wrinkled times

wrinkles
nature abhors
permanence
who'd inform
everest

sober alcoholic at king and yonge
in the corner window
the same mannequin
dressed seasonally
her pursed lip, smile
luring and inviting
all passersby
except me
