Angels Unaware

Angels Unaware

By john clare


Now if he was an angel I would have seen the wings

Heard the tune that heaven and nature sings

I would have placed upon the table the finest Rhodora

Set the golden silver in the proper order

But there was no table just a lift station pump

No song just the sound of sewage that stunk

Not the realm where angels should dwell

Wrapped in frumpy robes with a woody smell

And then as soon as my order came he was gone

The cars in line impatiently honked to move along

Later as I set the table of Lenox dinnerware

I wondered who would entertain angels unaware?
