WAITING



Darkness Visible, the great detective, sometimes
Had to leave town for weeks. His waiting room
Would  crowd with mysteries wishing to be solved
Some, growing impatient, would solve themselves
Others would fall into conversation with each other
Or go to sleep, their hungry mouths gone slack .
Some believe the conspiracy which inadvertently
Erased all memory of the week's eighth day --
So brilliantly foiled by Euphemia Penumbra --
Was launched there by two crabbed enigmas
And a four-dimensional conundrum
Who'd run out of old magazines to read.
