    Line Inference
    As I walked toward
    Her house, the one whose
    Porch light burned yellow
    Night and day, in any weather.
    I took the nickle from
    My pocket, then an orange,
    And set them quietly on
    The counter…
    The lady’s eyes met mine,
    And held them, knowing
    Very well what it was all
    About.
