Sestina - She walked in from the cold her name was Ann
Sestina
She walked in from the cold her name was Ann
I was a willing fish she was the bait
In her left hand she held a colander
I stared at it I must have seemed quite daft
I've never been a fan of entropy
My heart was bruised a middle-aged failure
Ann's search for work had also met failure
I had a job to offer I told Ann
Nothing like work to zap our entropy
And douse all thought of ending up as bait
My mind was lucid peaceful hardly daft
I asked her why she had that colander
She smiled and handed me the colander
She said it was to save us from failure
I was amused I said Ann that's quite daft
But her look seemed to say I'll be your Ann
And in an instant I swallowed the bait
And lunged for love to beat back entropy
Who would not wish to conquer entropy
I looked at Ann I took her colander
Suppressing any thought of being bait
Or of repeating any past failure
I gladly gave what love I had to Ann
No one around me thought me dumb or daft
But now I see that I was well past daft
And halfway through the gate of entropy
I lost my last vestige of pride to Ann
I even came to own a colander
And when I later wrote of my failure
I told the world that I was willing bait
And now it seems we all have become bait
And no one has a problem being daft
There's solace everywhere to trump failure
And hardly any thought of entropy
And when I cook I use my colander
And hardly ever give a thought to Ann
No longer bait nor prey to entropy
Nor seeking symbols in a colander
Failure is next of kin to entropy
