Out of Place
I don't suppose that standing under her
Window and hollering, "Stella," is going
To do me much good. Her name isn't
Stella. The streetcar which passes
By here's not "Desire," and my name,
Despite my no-longer-white t-shirt,
Is Raymond, not Stanley. I ought
To go home. I'm clearly not where
I should be.
