White nightgowns at the dinner table
crinkle like aluminum
foil
under a thousand lustful fingers
a crack downstairs
may be a gunshot
instead is only a can
of corn
and tuna
striking the counter
and being opened
inanities at the table
as the rice krispies mutter
the secrets
to life
even if none of the eaters
is listening

Robert P. Beveridge hates writing biographies. You can find other works of his in magazines such as The
Hawaii Review, The G. W. Review, and New York Quarterly, if you have a fetish for back issues.
