by Dolan Morgan
Do you like the ocean? I don't want
you treating me badly because I
remind you of it. Are you two aware
of the principles of conception—of
how the sperm meets the egg? Birds
picking seeds out of some horseshit.
Complimentary colors. The surf
pounding behind us. We are part
of a continuum, aren't we? It will
shock you, how much it never happened.
Dolan Morgan lives and writes in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This poem was constructed using lines taken from the hit television show, "Mad Men," on AMC. The title corresponds to second season episode of the same name.
