Looking but not Looking

Elbows posted on the table
in a way that is absolutely true.
So poetic and serious

in its grasp of English grammar,
it emerges on a scale
with the depth of living

in this place.
With all that training and diaspora
we wonder where they were

and how they came together.
So extraordinary to describe
his youth in beautiful novels

with all that lucidity and erudition
and just so sexy too.
Looking but not looking.
