/// Every evening Claire sits in her chair
playing marble-on-board solitaire.
From her manner you’d swear
that she isn’t “all there,”
but do not for this woman despair.
/// There are things of which you’re unaware.
Like, her day-job’s translating Voltaire.
When her game ends she’ll pair
with her room-mate, Pierre,
to continue their torrid affair.
