ANTIDOTE
For Ken and Erika
From Klutznick you might expect to get
A 3 a.m. faxed novelette
(The kind of drama one expects
When writing lines by Rolodex),
Always living with the threat
Of his stunts with some brunette,
Endless screenplays that condemn
Our telephones to S&M,
But if this doesn’t go to others
With your name at Lehman Brothers,
And if the icepacks didn’t freeze
The Klutz vaccine from Sotheby’s,
Then herewith you might defray
The full effects of Sam’s next play.
