<td>The Chicago <em>Manual of Style</em> is really neat
<p>when your composure cracks and ghosts</p>
<p>of silly girls come whispering to bother you &#x2013;</p>
<p>this happens late at night &#x2013; just kids</p>
<p>out for a bit of fun with a convertible</p>
<p>and a bottle of vodka like in a movie,</p>
<p>and &#x2018;Hell,&#x2019; you think, &#x2018;did I do that? Was
I</p>
<p>involved with that mad young bitch</p>

<p>Was that me in Dad&#x2019;s truck with the throttle</p>
<p>stuck open, cracking ninety down the beachfront?</p>

<p>on the edge of love and terror, the Chicago</p>
<p><em>Manual of Style</em> appears and takes you home.</p>
