              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 ***
And drugs, and his efficient deliveries

A **** among the poets, playing the world -
Who says young men have no ambition these days?
What Would Lord Byron Do?
