Getting a Charge over Williams' "The Young Housewife"

--for Nin Andrews

Forgive me, Doc this foolish 
Old wordmonger I can’t 

Help myself as I stand 
Drooling over this offering fully 

Aroused and--do you mind?--
Ogling it. 

Cryptic Relativity

There’s a where 
We all come from 
And there’s a where

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

We all go—here’s where 
We all are, never aware 
We never were. 

Voodoo

Do I have to spell it out for you? 
It so happened 

The last quack who ravished me 
Over a dish of Peking duck 
At the China Clipper 

I turned into a witch, 
Doctor Tu. 

Out the Window

All these derelicts 

Abandoned, one 
Wonders where 

The room went 
Along with the view.
