She Was

She was a perfect gentleman

akin to Mabel Neathe in QED

Why not curtsy to equals why do

anything but nod not acquiesce

Just be not the minnows known

as a school, found or infested with the group 

around to sound with dispatch 

or not a patch of yes equally not, 

Near the oval inherent in any human 

geometry flocked like a decoration

middling or strewn only to amount to 

being what it is perhaps akin to what

it was and will be, stretched to fit

suspicion of a wholly unknown yet

not debrided, the surface still clean

pre-op and held as claimed.
