Agnes Stumpf, of 326 Lexington Pkwy,
Turns out not to be
The Grand Duchess Anastasia
After all.
She can almost feel
The hand of the Divine
Withdraw
Like a sponsor from some
Tanking tv show.
And yet,
(she thinks)
I could still be
Elvis's love child;
I could still hit
The megamillions lottery jackpot payday.
Thus buoyed,
Hope rises again
Like millions of tiny scrubbing bubbles
Within the unfortunately not royal heart
Of Agnes Stumpf.
