Absence Makes the Heart
Gertrude Stein
Was known to drink
From time to time
A tall glass
Of sparkling water
Because there was
No there
There.
Before the Revolution
Squads of police
Dressed in riot gear
Surround the twisted wreckage
Of our leader’s limousine.
His private jet
Taxis down the runway
Then slowly ascends
Turning towards the west.
