They Say Young Men Have No Ambition These Days

 

The poetry section is the most remote:

The floor where the staff sneak away for lunch

Or lovers rendezvous for lovers’ arguments

A few eccentrics who want to read poetry

 

A young man sees it as his corner office

Reposing in a chair, feet up on the glass

Wielding two ‘phones, negotiating sex

And drugs, and his efficient deliveries

 

A pimp among the poets, playing the world -

Who says young men have no ambition these days?
