I write because I feel like I can never get anything right o the spot, and yet, even as a writer, I
feel like once I return to published work, I still find things I got wrong. In this poem, "u" is upset
and annoyed by the noise of the neighbor as much as Amazon Alexa's provocations. I wonder
now about using "O'hara provocation," thinking "O'hara obscurity" would make more sense...
Onward— here is a referenced poem that makes perfect sense:
TO A SKYLA
Chorus hymeneal
Or triumphal chaunt
Matched with thine would be all
But an empty vaunt,
A thing wherein we feel there is some hidden want.
Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
