By Christopher Mulrooney
Ponce de Leon would you like to know
the whereabouts of all claims
to knowledge about
life lust and
lost loves
here at the podium in a major policy address
the sea captain with a pink
admiral's hat
pulled down around his ears
down around the parlor
in the dead of night
in the great chair
that thing is met
sparkling wine chilled
