Still Life (no. 2)

Men,
thick with well-fedness, talk
of things of great import only
to themselves,
convivially appraise women
who are their own--
eyes like breasts but not faces,
blond or black or red-headed heads,
excuse themselves with reflexive
vacancy, in doorways
bohemians-too-late smoke cigarettes
and nothing but,
struggle with great solemnity away
from each other.
