Perfect Stranger Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Perfect Stranger

Rating: 5.0


She looked out of the window
of the Seattle RTD, the freeway flyer.
I left the transit lane to have a look
when daydream mode was switched
to off and it was back to what I call
the madness of Adam for his Eve.
A shrew she was and reading Puzo
some kind of transformation had occurred.
I never saw the beauty in the window
again, and memory is unable to oblige
it surely was a visual construct, and struth.

I agree with Raynette more often than not. Good one.

Sort of hints of Ezra Pound's 'In A Staion of the Metro.' I like this one. Raynette
