The tight space was uncomfortably cold and silent, with extremely strange yet catchy elevator music playing. Prior to work he had gotten into an argument with his wife and as he slowly sipped his coffee savoring every ounce of it, he was contemplating the words he would say to her when he returned home. Five other men crowded into the elevator: Four were everyday workers in the twin towers, and the other was the monthly window washer. The smell of cleaning products and expensive cologne began to take over the air. You could see it on every face waiting for their stop that it was about to be a long day.…

My wife for six months now in sinister Tones has muttered incessantly about divorce, And, since of the woman I’m fond, this dark chatter Is painful as well as a bit monotonous. Still, marvel one must, when she fishes out of that trunk, Like rages, my shadier deeds for all to see With ‘This you did when you were sober, and that when drunk’, At the remarkable powers of memory. For although I wriggle like mad when she whistles up Some particularly nasty bit of handiwork, The dirty linen I simply cannot drop, Since ‘Thomas Blackburn’ is stitched by the laundry mark. So I gather my things and say, ‘Yes these are mine, Though some cleaner items are not upon your list’, Then walk with my bundle of rags to another room Since I will not play the role of delinquent ghost And be folded up by guilt in the crook of an arm. I saw tonight - walking to cool the mind A little moonshine on a garden wall And, as I brooded, felt a small, keen wind Stroll from the Arctic at its own sweet will.…
