Dorothea Grossman's charming poem uses a parenthetical in the second line that crystallizes the speaker's voice. Write a poem that similarly uses a parenthetical address at any point.

A poem by Dorothea Grossman
Tumblr media
I allow myself
I allow myself  the luxury of breakfast  (I am no nun, for Christ's sake).  Charmed as I am  by the sputter of bacon,  and the eye-opening properties  of eggs,  it's the coffee  that's really sacramental.  In the old days,  I spread fires and floods and pestilence  on my toast.  Nowadays, I'm more selective,  I only read my horoscope  by the quiet glow of the marmalade.

I think… I am tired of being distressed. Yes,         I am exhausted. Of crying in the rain.

I look to the sky and I listen to the wind and I think, so this is life. A little mouthful.

I have to tell you,
there are times when
the sun strikes me
like a gong,
and I remember everything,
even your ears.
Dorothea Grossman, I have to tell you

The library always smells like this: an ancient stew of vinegar and wood. It’s autumn again, and I can do anything.

A poem by Dorothea Grossman
Tumblr media
New York Minute
The rain surprised us and of course, all the taxis dried up and disappeared. We settled for one of those glassy hotels with clean restrooms and a piano bar  cozily serving up hors d'oeuvres and standards, like "Violets For Your Fur" and "September In The Rain." I think we were drinking Manhattans, more as a salute to the moment than anything else because we were sophisticated, but not yet romantic. Romantic came later.
