People-Watching

The woman over there,
The one with the red hair,
Has just poisoned her husband,
With hemlock from her garden.

The man with the trench coat
Is returning from suitcase shopping.
He’s planning his spontaneous getaway,
Scheduled for mid-March.

The woman with the dog
And the nun’s face
Once loved a man in Munich
And never since.

All of these people going to
And from the party –
And our invitation,
Lost in the mail.
