After To a Poor Old Woman
By William Carlos Williams
crunching computer keys
sitting at the desk wearing
a curved bodice. Straight
and long black hair
It feels good to them.
It feels good
to them. It feels
good to them.
You can tell the way
they walk through the office—
bare ankles and flats
mindful of every step
Comforted yet somehow
isolated; vulnerable
to every word and silence.
It feels good to them
