Sleep of the righteous She keeps her skin like a China doll, Undercooks the rice and brews herb tea. Her portraits subdivide the wall With enduring delicacy. Silk creaks down to her blue-veined wrists. She says there’s a nice way of disagreeing With all but perverts and communists. She confides in a Supra-being. She assures you sacrifice makes you stronger, Despises war but supports the wars. At night her system can stand it no longer And my God how she snores. BRUCE BERGER Aspen, Colo.
