On Hospitality

On Hospitality


When she plans to entertain
Jealousy can be quite the hostess.
Invitations from her
are usually written in first person
folded
and placed in an envelope to match.

When she plans to entertain
the guest list may seem
quite extensive.
Good friends like Sorrow and Fury
know her place well.
And although not welcome,
Truth may attend
sparingly.

But

what she may do
(on occasion)
is extend her invitation to
a
certain guest.


and when he arrives
in his full-bodied glory,
Jealousy
will even so quaintly
with tremulous glee
show Blindness
his seat
at the table.
