Les Femmes de la Nuit


The one who
looks like
she is sneering

isn’t sneering –
she’s a trifle
hard of hearing 

and she finds
that when she
squinches up 

her nose
and cheeks
it seems to help 

her understand
the words another
person speaks 

a little better.
As for the others,
I’ve no clue. 

Though I suspect
if you decide
to introduce 

yourself they will,
with zeal,
reveal the spirit 

and the letter
of their separate
points-of-view.
